After a recent change in clang to strengthen uninitialized warnings [1],
there is a warning from val being uninitialized in __put_user_nocheck
when called from futex_put_value():
kernel/futex/futex.h:326:18: warning: variable 'val' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Wuninitialized]
326 | unsafe_put_user(val, to, Efault);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:464:21: note: expanded from macro 'unsafe_put_user'
464 | __put_user_nocheck(x, (ptr), label)
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:314:36: note: expanded from macro '__put_user_nocheck'
314 | __inttype(x) val = (__inttype(x))x; \
| ~~~ ^
While not on by default, -Wshadow flags the same mistake:
kernel/futex/futex.h:326:2: warning: declaration shadows a local variable [-Wshadow]
326 | unsafe_put_user(val, to, Efault);
| ^
arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:464:2: note: expanded from macro 'unsafe_put_user'
464 | __put_user_nocheck(x, (ptr), label)
| ^
arch/riscv/include/asm/uaccess.h:314:16: note: expanded from macro '__put_user_nocheck'
314 | __inttype(x) val = (__inttype(x))x; \
| ^
kernel/futex/futex.h:320:48: note: previous declaration is here
320 | static __always_inline int futex_put_value(u32 val, u32 __user *to)
| ^
Use a three underscore prefix for the val variable in __put_user_nocheck
to avoid clashing with either val or __val, which are both used within
the put_user macros, clearing up all warnings.

It would be good if this could make 6.16 final. Otherwise, consider
adding a 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' during application.
