Subject: [PATCH] tool/perf: Perf build fails on 5.12.0rc2 on s390
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2021 12:04:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210309110447.834292-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
perf build fails on 5.12.0rc2 on s390 with this error message:
util/synthetic-events.c: In function
‘__event__synthesize_thread.part.0.isra’:
util/synthetic-events.c:787:19: error: ‘kernel_thread’ may be
used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
787 | if (_pid == pid && !kernel_thread) {
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The build succeeds using command 'make DEBUG=y'.
The variable kernel_thread is set by this function sequence:
__event__synthesize_thread()
| defines bool kernel_thread; as local variable and calls
+--> perf_event__prepare_comm(..., &kernel_thread)
+--> perf_event__get_comm_ids(..., bool *kernel);
On return of this function variable kernel is always
set to true of false.
To prevent this compile error, assign variable kernel_thread
a value when it is defined.
Output after:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# make util/synthetic-events.o
....
CC util/synthetic-events.o
[root@m35lp76 perf]#
