Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 07/14] powerpc/futex: Fix warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 12:52:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190924165214.28857-7-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190924165214.28857-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
[ Upstream commit 38a0d0cdb46d3f91534e5b9839ec2d67be14c59d ]
We see warnings such as:
kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':
kernel/futex.c:1676:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
return oldval == cmparg;
^
kernel/futex.c:1651:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here
int oldval, ret;
^
This is because arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() only sets *oval if ret
is 0 and GCC doesn't see that it will only use it when ret is 0.
Anyway, the non-zero ret path is an error path that won't suffer from
setting *oval, and as *oval is a local var in futex_atomic_op_inuser()
it will have no impact.
