[PATCH 0/5] -Wmaybe-uninitialized bug fixes for linux-next

[PATCH 0/5] -Wmaybe-uninitialized bug fixes for linux-next

[Arnd Bergmann]

In 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally"),
Linus wrote:

    Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
    false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
    that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in
    the noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

Today, I tried reverting the patch on linux-next and built an ARM
allmodconfig kernel on ARM along with some randconfig kernels,
and got a handful of warnings, all of which appear to be reasonable
and point to actual mistakes in the code. The difference to what
Linus saw must be that previously the useful warnings were more
likely to get fixed before making it into the kernel, while now
we have to find them the hard way.

These five patches address all new warnings. In some cases this
may not be the correct fix, so please review carefully before applying,
or suggest a better fix. No need to keep them as a series, I
just group them here for the sake of discussion. Please pick up
whatever looks right to you.

Obviously, this kind of warnings always produces some false positives
(see https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Better_Uninitialized_Warnings), but I still
hope to get a better balance with enabling them sometimes where
people want them, as the current approach of always enabling them
for "make W=1" but never by default seems suboptimal: We had previously
identified a number of options (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT, and
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL) that cause tons of false positives,
but without those options (and avoiding gcc-4.8 or lower),
we typically get mostly reports for actual bugs in my experience.

I can continue running the tests and send patches, but it feels
like a waste of time when they should have been found by the
original developers. Any other suggestions?

[PATCH 1/5] gpio: pca954x: fix undefined error code from remove

[Arnd Bergmann]

The recent addition of the regulator support has led to the pca953x_remove
function returning uninitialized data when no platform data pointer is
provided, as gcc warns when using -Wmaybe-uninitialized:

drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c: In function 'pca953x_remove':
drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c:860:9: error: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This restores the previous behavior, returning 0 on success.

[PATCH 2/5] video: ARM CLCD: fix endpoint lookup logic

[Arnd Bergmann]

The addition of the Nomadik support in this driver introduced
a bug in clcdfb_of_init_display(), which now calls init_panel
with an uninitialized 'endpoint' pointer, as "gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized"
warns:

drivers/video/fbdev/amba-clcd.c: In function 'clcdfb_of_init_display':
drivers/video/fbdev/amba-clcd.c:785:5: error: 'endpoint' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This reverts the broken part of the function to what it was before
the patch, which is the best guess I have to what it should be.
I assume this was left over from an attempted rework of the
code that was partially backed out.

[PATCH 3/5] rxrpc: fix last_call processing

[Arnd Bergmann]

A change to the retransmission handling in rxrpc caused a use-before-init
bug in rxrpc_data_ready(), as indicated by "gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized":

net/rxrpc/input.c: In function 'rxrpc_data_ready':
net/rxrpc/input.c:735:34: error: 'call' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This moves the initialization of the local variable before the first
user, which presumably is what was intended here.

[PATCH 4/5] net_sched: fix use of uninitialized ethertype variable in cls_flower

[Arnd Bergmann]

The addition of VLAN support caused a possible use of uninitialized
data if we encounter a zero TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ETH_TYPE key, as pointed
out by "gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized":

net/sched/cls_flower.c: In function 'fl_change':
net/sched/cls_flower.c:366:22: error: 'ethertype' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This changes the code to only set the ethertype field if it
was nonzero, as before the patch.

[PATCH 5/5] net/xgene: fix error handling during reset

[Arnd Bergmann]

The newly added reset logic uses helper functions for the MMIO that
may fail. However, when the read operation fails, we end up writing
back uninitialized data to the register, as gcc warns:

drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_xgmac.c: In function 'xgene_enet_link_state':
drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_xgmac.c:213:2: error: 'data' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/net/ethernet/apm/xgene/xgene_enet_xgmac.c:209:6: note: 'data' was declared here
  u32 data;

We already print a warning to the console log if that happens,
the best alternative that I can see is skip the rest of the reset
sequence if the register value cannot be read: Most likely the
write would fail as well, and if it succeeded, worse things could
happen.

Ahh, commit 8c7a92dad1621f38d1ff4fe9eaac898d6f33a0a3 gpio: pca953x: remove redundant assignments
removed the 'redundant' initialisation of ret in this function.
Looks like I did not have this commit in my tree when I submitted did the regulator patch.
Sorry about that. Alternative to the 'else' is to add init at definition.

I've merged net-next into the last linux-next release now for
testing (no linux-next this week) and can confirm that your
fix is correct. However, I got a new (valid) warning after
your f5c17aaeb2ae ("rxrpc: Calls should only have one terminal
state"), and another (false-positive) one for another patch
in net-next.

I'll follow up with the fixes, both of which are rather
straightforward.
