[patch 53/62] UML - Fix boot crash

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Jul 30 2008 - 20:26:36 EST


2.6.26 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let
us know.

------------------
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7c1fed03b9fa32d4323d5caa6a9c7dcdd7eba767 upstream

My copying of linux/init.h didn't go far enough. The definition of
__used singled out gcc minor version 3, but didn't care what the major
version was. This broke when unit-at-a-time was added and gcc started
throwing out initcalls.

This results in an early boot crash when ptrace tries to initialize a
process with an empty, uninitialized register set.
