[PATCH 1/3] lkdtm: fix false positive warning from -Wmaybe-uninitialized

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Aug 05 2016 - 17:27:41 EST


The variable in use here doesn't matter (it's just used to exercise taking
up stack space), but this changes its use to pass its address instead,
to avoid a compiler warning:

drivers/misc/lkdtm_usercopy.c:54:15: warning: 'bad_stack' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
