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 }
