From 11d8b05855f3749bcb6c57e2c4052921b9605c77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:52:59 +0200 Subject: perf/x86: Shut up false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
