Subject: [bug report] [MIPS] IP22: Fix serial console detection
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 00:39:55 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161208213955.GA25569@elgon.mountain> (raw)
[ ancient code... ]
Hello Ralf Baechle,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch e9feeb207e55: "[MIPS] IP22: Fix serial console detection"
from Jan 30, 2006, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
arch/mips/sgi-ip22/ip22-setup.c:71 plat_mem_setup()
error: we previously assumed 'ctype' could be null (see line 66)
arch/mips/sgi-ip22/ip22-setup.c
56 /* ARCS console environment variable is set to "g?" for
57 * graphics console, it is set to "d" for the first serial
58 * line and "d2" for the second serial line.
59 *
60 * Need to check if the case is 'g' but no keyboard:
61 * (ConsoleIn/Out = serial)
62 */
63 ctype = ArcGetEnvironmentVariable("console");
64 cserial = ArcGetEnvironmentVariable("ConsoleOut");
65
66 if ((ctype && *ctype == 'd') || (cserial && *cserial == 's')) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Assumed ctype is NULL and *cserial == 's'.
67 static char options[8] __initdata;
68 char *baud = ArcGetEnvironmentVariable("dbaud");
69 if (baud)
70 strcpy(options, baud);
71 add_preferred_console("ttyS", *(ctype + 1) == '2' ? 1 : 0,
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Then we dereference it here.
72 baud ? options : NULL);
73 } else if (!ctype || *ctype != 'g') {
regards,
dan carpenter
