    perf_counter: powerpc: initialize cpuhw pointer before use · c0daaf3f
    Paul Mackerras authored
    Commit 9e35ad38 ("perf_counter: Rework the perf counter
    disable/enable") added code to the powerpc hw_perf_enable (renamed
    from hw_perf_restore) to test cpuhw->disabled and return immediately
    if it is not set (i.e. if the PMU is already enabled).
    
    Unfortunately the test got added before cpuhw was initialized,
    resulting in an oops the first time hw_perf_enable got called.
    This fixes it by moving the initialization of cpuhw to before
    cpuhw->disabled is tested.
