Subject: [patch] KVM: always initialize *pdata in get_msr()
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:32:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150123143232.GA4298@mwanda> (raw)
Smatch complains that there are some paths where we use uninitialized
data in em_sysenter().
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c:2410 em_sysenter()
error: potentially using uninitialized 'msr_data'.
A couple examples of paths which don't set "pdata" are found in
get_msr_hyperv() and kvm_x2apic_msr_read(). I looked at this code and
it seems like setting it to zero is a common default behaviour.
