From d8b44b58a7073b4d74b3394131eb449e8469396b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 14:18:09 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: Remove awareness of uninitialized_var() macro Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], partially revert commit 16b7f3c89907 ("checkpatch: avoid warning about uninitialized_var()") and remove all remaining mentions of uninitialized_var().
