Subject: [PATCH bpf-next V2] bpf: avoid uninitialized value in BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD
Date: Wed,  8 May 2024 12:13:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240508101313.16662-1-jose.marchesi@oracle.com> (raw)

[Changes from V1:
 - Use a default branch in the switch statement to initialize `val'.]

GCC warns that `val' may be used uninitialized in the
BPF_CRE_READ_BITFIELD macro, defined in bpf_core_read.h as:

	[...]
	unsigned long long val;						      \
	[...]								      \
	switch (__CORE_RELO(s, field, BYTE_SIZE)) {			      \
	case 1: val = *(const unsigned char *)p; break;			      \
	case 2: val = *(const unsigned short *)p; break;		      \
	case 4: val = *(const unsigned int *)p; break;			      \
	case 8: val = *(const unsigned long long *)p; break;		      \
        }       							      \
	[...]
	val;								      \
	}								      \

This patch adds a default entry in the switch statement that sets
`val' to zero in order to avoid the warning, and random values to be
used in case __builtin_preserve_field_info returns unexpected values
for BPF_FIELD_BYTE_SIZE.

Tested in bpf-next master.
No regressions.
