Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization (via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase, so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of direct initializations, the warnings remain. To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where they're used or lift them up into the main function body. drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c: In function ‘handle_stat0_irqs_superspeed’: drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c:2871:22: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable] 2871 | struct net2280_ep *e; | ^ [1] https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44916 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: put everything in function body (Alan Stern) v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200220062315.69253-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx --- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c index 1fd1b9186e46..8e24d1c724be 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/net2280.c @@ -2861,6 +2861,8 @@ static void ep_clear_seqnum(struct net2280_ep *ep) static void handle_stat0_irqs_superspeed(struct net2280 *dev, struct net2280_ep *ep, struct usb_ctrlrequest r) { + struct net2280_ep *e; + u16 status; int tmp = 0; #define w_value le16_to_cpu(r.wValue) @@ -2868,9 +2870,6 @@ static void handle_stat0_irqs_superspeed(struct net2280 *dev, #define w_length le16_to_cpu(r.wLength) switch (r.bRequest) { - struct net2280_ep *e; - u16 status; - case USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION: dev->addressed_state = !w_value; goto usb3_delegate; -- 2.20.1 -- Kees Cook
