When malloc for jump,

And here it is used:
if (head && location && menu == location)
	jump->offset = strlen(r->s);


So I think when jump is used, it must not be NULL; then !=NULL is not needed.

I tested the patch against v13.6-rc5. It fixes the problem with the warning.

You can add

There is a warning when run "make menuconfig".

this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
       jump->offset = strlen(r->s);

scripts/kconfig/menu.c:551:19: note: ‘jump’ was declared here
    struct jump_key *jump;

It is because the compiler think "jump" is not initialized, though in fact
it is already initialized.

Hello Zhen-Hua,

the patch looks incomplete to me. A check
jump != NULL
should be added before accessing parts of structure jump_key.
