Hi all,

After merging the percpu tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:13:0,
                 from include/linux/bitmap.h:9,
                 from mm/percpu.c:58:
mm/percpu.c: In function 'pcpu_alloc':
include/linux/printk.h:303:2: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  printk(KERN_WARNING pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
  ^
mm/percpu.c:864:14: note: 'err' was declared here
  const char *err;
              ^

I am not sure which commit introduced this, although the

	if (is_atomic)
		goto fail;

in pcpu_alloc() looks suspicious.

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell
