This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf intel-pt: Fix unassigned instruction op (discovered by MemorySanitizer) to the 6.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-intel-pt-fix-unassigned-instruction-op-discover.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 879f4f46fa6a8818b4536e9396050348d560e8f9 Author: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 26 10:32:23 2024 +0200 perf intel-pt: Fix unassigned instruction op (discovered by MemorySanitizer) [ Upstream commit e101a05f79fd4ee3e89d2f3fb716493c33a33708 ] MemorySanitizer discovered instances where the instruction op value was not assigned.: WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value #0 0x5581c00a76b3 in intel_pt_sample_flags tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:1527:17 Uninitialized value was stored to memory at #0 0x5581c005ddf8 in intel_pt_walk_insn tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-decoder.c:1256:25 The op value is used to set branch flags for branch instructions encountered when walking the code, so fix by setting op to INTEL_PT_OP_OTHER in other cases.
