those were the line numbers just after your commit

In 3.9-rc1 they are :

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function 'arch_ptrace':
arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:1479: warning: 'brk.len' is used uninitialized in 
this function
arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:1381: note: 'brk.len' was declared here

                if (child->thread.hw_brk.address)
                        return -ENOSPC;

1479:           child->thread.hw_brk = brk;

                return 1;
        #endif /* !CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS */
