Returning an error code from futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() indicates that the caller should not make any use of *uval, and should instead act upon on the value of the error code. Although this is implemented correctly in our futex code, we needlessly copy uninitialised stack to *uval in the error case, which can easily be avoided.

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.
