From 6436257b491cc0d456c39330dfc22126148d5ed7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 11:09:53 +0100 Subject: time/timekeeping: Work around false positive GCC warning Newer GCC versions trigger the following warning: kernel/time/timekeeping.c: In function ‘get_device_system_crosststamp’: kernel/time/timekeeping.c:987:5: warning: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (discontinuity) { ^ kernel/time/timekeeping.c:1045:15: note: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ was declared here unsigned int clock_was_set_seq; ^ GCC clearly is unable to recognize that the 'do_interp' boolean tracks the initialization status of 'clock_was_set_seq'. The GCC version used was: gcc version 5.3.1 20151207 (Red Hat 5.3.1-2) (GCC) Work it around by initializing clock_was_set_seq to 0. Compilers that are able to recognize the code flow will eliminate the unnecessary initialization.
