[PATCH tip/core/rcu 15/17] Prevent uninitialized string in RCU stall info
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Jun 22 2012 - 11:36:05 EST
From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@xxxxxxxxx>
An uninitialized string may be displayed at the end of the rcu_preempt
detected stall info such as
0: (1 GPs behind) idle=075/140000000000000/0 =8?^D=8?^D
^^^^^^^^^^
if CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is not defined.
This trivial patch clears the string in this case.
