bpf: avoid uninitialized warnings in verifier_global_subprogs.c
[Changes from V1: - The warning to disable is -Wmaybe-uninitialized, not -Wuninitialized. - This warning is only supported in GCC.] The BPF selftest verifier_global_subprogs.c contains code that purposedly performs out of bounds access to memory, to check whether the kernel verifier is able to catch them. For example: __noinline int global_unsupp(const int *mem) { if (!mem) return 0; return mem[100]; /* BOOM */ } With -O1 and higher and no inlining, GCC notices this fact and emits a "maybe uninitialized" warning. This is by design. Note that the emission of these warnings is highly dependent on the precise optimizations that are performed. This patch adds a compiler pragma to verifier_global_subprogs.c to ignore these warnings. Tested in bpf-next master. No regressions. Signed-off-by: Jose E.
