[PATCH v3 07/11] selftests/mm: fix a "possibly uninitialized" warning in pkey-x86.h
Posted by John Hubbard 2 years, 8 months ago
This fixes a real bug, too, because xstate_size()  was assuming that
the stack variable xstate_size was initialized to zero. That's not
guaranteed nor even especially likely.
