Compiled with clang by adding LLVM=1 both kernel and selftests/bpf build, I hit the following compilation error: In file included from /.../tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/subskeleton.c:6: ./test_subskeleton_lib.subskel.h:168:6: error: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (!s->progs) ^~~~~~~~~ ./test_subskeleton_lib.subskel.h:181:11: note: uninitialized use occurs here errno = -err; ^~~ ./test_subskeleton_lib.subskel.h:168:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false if (!s->progs) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The compilation error is triggered by the following code ... int err; obj = (struct test_subskeleton_lib *)calloc(1, sizeof(*obj)); if (!obj) { errno = ENOMEM; goto err; } ... err: test_subskeleton_lib__destroy(obj); errno = -err; ... in test_subskeleton_lib__open(). The 'err' is not initialized, yet it is used in 'errno = -err' later. The fix is to remove 'errno = -err' since errno has been set properly in all incoming branches.
