    perf_counter: Fix perf_copy_attr() pointer arithmetic · cdf8073d
    Ian Schram authored
    There is still some weird code in per_copy_attr(). Which supposedly
    checks that all bytes trailing a struct are zero.
    
    It doesn't seem to get pointer arithmetic right. Since it
    increments an iterating pointer by sizeof(unsigned long) rather
    than 1.
