    perf/hw_breakpoint: Fix arch_hw_breakpoint use-before-initialization · 310aa0a2
    Mark-PK Tsai authored
    If we disable the compiler's auto-initialization feature, if
    -fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-byref or -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
    are disabled, arch_hw_breakpoint may be used before initialization after:
    
      9a4903dd ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit")
    
    On our ARM platform, the struct step_ctrl in arch_hw_breakpoint, which
    used to be zero-initialized by kzalloc(), may be used in
    arch_install_hw_breakpoint() without initialization.
