[ Upstream commit 8cfaf106918a8c13abb24c641556172afbb9545c ]
In cpufeatures_process_feature(), if a provided CPU feature is unknown and
enable_unknown is false, we erroneously print that the feature is being
enabled and return true, even though no feature has been enabled, and
may also set feature bits based on the last entry in the match table.
Fix this so that we only set feature bits from the match table if we have
actually enabled a feature from that table, and when failing to enable an
unknown feature, always print the "not enabling" message and return false.
Coincidentally, some older gccs (<GCC 7), when invoked with
-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc, cause a spurious uninitialised variable
warning in this function:
arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c: In function ‘cpufeatures_process_feature’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c:686:7: warning: ‘m’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
if (m->cpu_ftr_bit_mask)
An upcoming patch will enable support for kcov, which requires this option.
This patch avoids the warning.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
