Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fprobe: Initialize ret valiable to fix smatch error
Date: Sun,  9 Apr 2023 11:28:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <168100731160.79534.374827110083836722.stgit@devnote2> (raw)

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

The commit 39d954200bf6 ("fprobe: Skip exit_handler if entry_handler returns
!0") introduced a hidden dependency of 'ret' local variable in the
fprobe_handler(), Smatch warns the `ret` can be accessed without
initialization.

	kernel/trace/fprobe.c:59 fprobe_handler()
	error: uninitialized symbol 'ret'.

kernel/trace/fprobe.c
    49                 fpr->entry_ip = ip;
    50                 if (fp->entry_data_size)
    51                         entry_data = fpr->data;
    52         }
    53
    54         if (fp->entry_handler)
    55                 ret = fp->entry_handler(fp, ip, ftrace_get_regs(fregs), entry_data);

ret is only initialized if there is an ->entry_handler

    56
    57         /* If entry_handler returns !0, nmissed is not counted. */
    58         if (rh) {

rh is only true if there is an ->exit_handler.  Presumably if you have
and ->exit_handler that means you also have a ->entry_handler but Smatch
is not smart enough to figure it out.

--> 59                 if (ret)
                           ^^^
Warning here.

    60                         rethook_recycle(rh);
    61                 else
    62                         rethook_hook(rh, ftrace_get_regs(fregs), true);
    63         }
    64 out:
    65         ftrace_test_recursion_unlock(bit);
    66 }
