clang warns about possible bugs in a dead code branch after BUG_ON(1) when CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is enabled: drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/sge.c:479:3: error: variable 'buf_size' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized] BUG_ON(1); ^~~~~~~~~ include/asm-generic/bug.h:61:36: note: expanded from macro 'BUG_ON' #define BUG_ON(condition) do { if (unlikely(condition)) BUG(); } while (0) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/compiler.h:48:23: note: expanded from macro 'unlikely' # define unlikely(x) (__branch_check__(x, 0, __builtin_constant_p(x))) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/sge.c:482:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return buf_size; ^~~~~~~~ drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/sge.c:479:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true BUG_ON(1); ^ include/asm-generic/bug.h:61:32: note: expanded from macro 'BUG_ON' #define BUG_ON(condition) do { if (unlikely(condition)) BUG(); } while (0) ^ drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4/sge.c:459:14: note: initialize the variable 'buf_size' to silence this warning int buf_size; ^ = 0 Use BUG() here to create simpler code that clang understands correctly.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
