[PATCH] riscv: bpf: Fix uninitialized symbol 'retval_off'
Posted by Chenghao Duan 1 month, 2 weeks ago
In __arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline(), retval_off is only meaningful when
save_ret is true, so the current logic is correct. However, in the
original logic, retval_off is only initialized under certain
conditions, which may cause a build warning.

So initialize retval_off unconditionally to fix it.

I also checked at the time that ip_off is only initialized and assigned
when flags & BPF_TRAMP_F_IP_ARG is true. However, I noticed that the use
of ip_off also requires this condition, so the compiler did not issue a
warning.

Can you show how to replay this warning? I guess the warning path is as 
follow. Compiler didn't know fmod_ret prog need BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG.

```
if (fmod_ret->nr_links) {
	...
	emit_sd(RV_REG_FP, -retval_off, RV_REG_ZERO, ctx);
}
```

Exactly, the compiler sees the unconditional use of retval_off.

OK, I think we should make commit msg more explicit. Such like the 
follow. wdyt?

`However, in the fmod_ret logic, the compiler is not aware that the 
flags of the fmod_ret prog have set BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG, resulting in 
an uninitialized symbol compilation warning.`
