perf build fails on 5.12.0rc2 on s390 with this error message:
util/synthetic-events.c: In function
‘__event__synthesize_thread.part.0.isra’:
util/synthetic-events.c:787:19: error: ‘kernel_thread’ may be
used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
787 | if (_pid == pid && !kernel_thread) {
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The build succeeds using command 'make DEBUG=y'.
The variable kernel_thread is set by this function sequence:
__event__synthesize_thread()
| defines bool kernel_thread; as local variable and calls
+--> perf_event__prepare_comm(..., &kernel_thread)
+--> perf_event__get_comm_ids(..., bool *kernel);
On return of this function variable kernel is always
set to true or false.
To prevent this compile error, assign variable kernel_thread
a value when it is defined.
Output after:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# make util/synthetic-events.o
