| Subject | [PATCH 5/5] gcov: disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning |
| Message-ID | <rrQMa-8el-11@gated-at.bofh.it> |
When gcov profiling is enabled, we see a lot of spurious warnings about possibly uninitialized variables being used: arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: In function 'arm_coherent_iommu_map_page': arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:1085:16: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c: In function 'st_of_flexgen_setup': drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c:323:9: warning: 'num_parents' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_mount': kernel/cgroup.c:2119:11: warning: 'root' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] All of these are false positives, so it seems better to just disable the warnings whenever GCOV is enabled. Most users don't enable GCOV, and based on a prior patch, it is now also disabled for 'allmodconfig' builds, so there should be no downsides of doing this.
