Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] target/ppc: initialize 'val' union in kvm_get_one_spr()
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 21:17:14 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220331001717.616938-2-danielhb413@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220331001717.616938-1-danielhb413@gmail.com>
Valgrind isn't convinced that we are initializing the values we assign
to env->spr[spr] because it doesn't understand that the 'val' union is
being written by the kvm_vcpu_ioctl() that follows (via struct
kvm_one_reg).
This results in Valgrind complaining about uninitialized values every
time we use env->spr in a conditional, like this instance:
==707578== Thread 1:
==707578== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==707578== at 0xA10A40: hreg_compute_hflags_value (helper_regs.c:106)
==707578== by 0xA10C9F: hreg_compute_hflags (helper_regs.c:173)

==707578== by 0xD4A11B: resettable_phase_hold (resettable.c:182)
==707578== by 0xD49A77: resettable_assert_reset (resettable.c:60)
==707578== by 0xD4994B: resettable_reset (resettable.c:45)
==707578== by 0xD458BB: device_cold_reset (qdev.c:296)
==707578== by 0x48FBC7: cpu_reset (cpu-common.c:114)
==707578== by 0x97B5EB: spapr_reset_vcpu (spapr_cpu_core.c:38)
==707578== by 0x97BABB: spapr_cpu_core_reset (spapr_cpu_core.c:209)
==707578== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
==707578== at 0xB11F08: kvm_get_one_spr (kvm.c:543)
Initializing 'val' has no impact in the logic and makes Valgrind output
more bearable.
