From cc4cbe9011bf995f48fa62f3c675e57284c50635 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 14:17:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: work around gcc-4.9 build warning Building ipmi on arm with gcc-4.9 results in this warning for an allmodconfig build: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'ipmi_thread': include/linux/time.h:28:5: warning: 'busy_until.tv_sec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (lhs->tv_sec > rhs->tv_sec) ^ drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1007:18: note: 'busy_until.tv_sec' was declared here struct timespec busy_until; ^ The warning is bogus and this case can not occur. Apparently this is a false positive resulting from gcc getting a little smarter about tracking assignments but not smart enough. Marking the ipmi_thread_busy_wait function as inline gives the gcc optimization logic enough information to figure out for itself that the case cannot happen, which gets rid of the warning without adding any fake initialization.
