For many months, I have maintained a hand-verified list of bogus "may be
used uninitialized" warning fixes, in misc-2.6.git#gccbug. Andrew urged
me to head these upstream.
I have gone through and re-analyzed each warning, and verified that
these variables are indeed initialized properly, and gcc is making
needless noise.
These uninitialized_var() markers are in a separate branch from the
other warning fixes/silences to enable people to object to this
separately.
Potential upsides of pulling 'uninit-var':
* reduces noise proven to hide bugs
* pushes upstream the work I have done, hand-verifying that each
warning so marked is indeed bogus.
* uninitialized_var a grep-friendly symbol
* uninitialized_var could be disabled via Kconfig, if someone
really wanted to see the warnings again
Potential downsides to uninitialized_var():
* Future code changes related to a marked variable could potentially
result in hiding a valid uninit'd-var warning (i.e. hiding a bug).
* uninitialized_var stands out in the code. Ugly? Or a good thing?
This is the second of two git pulls, the -child-. If you pull branch
'uninit-var', you will receive BOTH 'uninit-var' and 'warnings'
branches.
Please pull from 'uninit-var' branch of

arch/i386/* fs/* ipc/*: mark variables with uninitialized_var()
Mark variables with uninitialized_var() if such a warning appears,
and analysis proves that the var is initialized properly on all paths
it is used.
