2.6.11.3 build problem in arch/alpha/kernel/srcons.c with gcc-4.0

2.6.11.3 build problem in arch/alpha/kernel/srcons.c with gcc-4.0

[Dan Kegel]

Anyone with an alpha care to suggest a fix for this?

arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.c: In function 'srmcons_open':
arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.c:196: warning: 'srmconsp' may be used uninitialized in this function
make[1]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel/srmcons.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2

I get this when building the 2.6.11.3 kernel with a recent gcc-4.0 snapshot.

Thanks,
Dan

I'll initialize it to something - guess it doesn't matter what.

Thanks,
Dan

It's beyond gcc's ability to figure out that the code is OK.  Options would
be to disable -Werror, or to artificially initialise that variable.

I've a fix in my local tree.  I'll pass it along shortly.

Fixed thus.

Note that even with a _raw_read_trylock implementation, smp still
doesn't work.  Everything that init spawns dies immediately.  I
havn't had a chance to find out why yet...
