Subject: [PATCH] fix uninitialized variable error in do_poll()
Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2018 04:12:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5BB738FA02000078001EEB89@prv1-mh.provo.novell.com> (raw)

Now that CONFIG_HVM can (and should) be turned off for the shim, gcc 8.2
apparently is no longer sure that "port" is indeed initialized at

    if ( sched_poll->nr_ports == 1 )
        v->poll_evtchn = port;

It doesn't look to be impossible for the compiler to prove it is not,
but we also can't rely on that to be the case. Add an initializer.
