[ Upstream commit 17d1316de0d7dc1bdc5d6e3ad4efd30a9bf1a381 ] Because the size passed to copy_from_user() cannot be known beforehand, it needs to be checked during runtime with check_object_size. That makes gcc believe that the content of sbuf can be used before init. Fix: ./include/linux/thread_info.h:215:17: warning: ‘sbuf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
