From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> commit ff8acf929014b7f87315588e0daf8597c8aa9d1c upstream. Commit 045afc24124d ("arm64: futex: Fix FUTEX_WAKE_OP atomic ops with non-zero result value") removed oldval's zero initialization in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser because it is not necessary. Unfortunately, Android's arm64 GCC 4.9.4 [1] does not agree: ../kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex': ../kernel/futex.c:1658:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] return oldval == cmparg; ^ In file included from ../kernel/futex.c:73:0: ../arch/arm64/include/asm/futex.h:53:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here int oldval, ret, tmp; ^ GCC fails to follow that when ret is non-zero, futex_atomic_op_inuser returns right away, avoiding the uninitialized use that it claims. Restoring the zero initialization works around this issue.
