[PATCH 4.9 25/50] x86/hw_breakpoints: Make default case in hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() return an error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[ Upstream commit e898e69d6b9475bf123f99b3c5d1a67bb7cb2361 ]

When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:355:2: warning: variable 'align' is used
uninitialized whenever switch default is taken
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

The default cannot be reached because arch_build_bp_info() initializes
hw->len to one of the specified cases. Nevertheless the warning is valid
and returning -EINVAL makes sure that this cannot be broken by future
modifications.
