From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Message-Id: <20180726230652.286536726@goodmis.org> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 19:06:13 -0400 From: Steven Rostedt To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Linus Torvalds , Ingo Molnar , Andrew Morton , stable@vger.kernel.org, kbuild test robot Subject: [PATCH 6/7] tracing: Quiet gcc warning about maybe unused link variable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Commit 57ea2a34adf4 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and gives the warning: "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function" It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link" variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler thinks it could be used uninitialized.
