From 1ef79040a57faa808416d6c7554babafbc34e69f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 13:28:45 -0700 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Remove uninitialized_var() usage Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just remove this variable since it was actually unused: arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:1832:16: warning: unused variable 'vrsave' [-Wunused-variable] unsigned long vrsave; ^ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603174714.192027-1-glider@google.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFw+Vbj0i=1TGqCR5vQkCzWJ0QxK6CernOU6eedsudAixw@mail.gmail.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFwgbgqhbp1fkxvRKEpzyR5J8n1vKT1VZdz9knmPuXhOeg@mail.gmail.com/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFz2500WfbKXAx8s67wrm9=yVJu65TpLgN_ybYNv0VEOKA@mail.gmail.com/ Suggested-by: Nathan Chancellor Fixes: f05ed4d56e9c ("KVM: PPC: Split out code from book3s.c into book3s_pr.c") Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Kees Cook --- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c index ef54f917bdaf..ed12dfbf9bb5 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c @@ -1828,9 +1828,6 @@ static int kvmppc_vcpu_run_pr(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) { struct kvm_run *run = vcpu->run; int ret; -#ifdef CONFIG_ALTIVEC - unsigned long uninitialized_var(vrsave); -#endif /* Check if we can run the vcpu at all */ if (!vcpu->arch.sane) { -- cgit
