Subject: [PATCH 1/8] perf/x86: shut up false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:52:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170719125310.2487451-2-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170719125310.2487451-1-arnd@arndb.de>

The intialization function checks for various failure scenarios, but
unfortunately the compiler gets a little confused about the possible
combinations, leading to a false-positive build warning when
-Wmaybe-uninitialized is set:

arch/x86/events/core.c: In function ‘init_hw_perf_events’:
arch/x86/events/core.c:264:3: warning: ‘reg_fail’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
arch/x86/events/core.c:264:3: warning: ‘val_fail’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   pr_err(FW_BUG "the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR %x is %Lx)\n",

We can't actually run into this case, so this shuts up the warning
by initializing the variables to a known-invalid state.

Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

v2: replaced original patch that reordered the code instead of
adding a fake initialization.
