From: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit e72e2dfe7c16ffbfbabf9cb24adc6d9f93a4fe37 upstream. When gcov profiling is enabled, we see a lot of spurious warnings about possibly uninitialized variables being used: arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: In function 'arm_coherent_iommu_map_page': arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:1085:16: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c: In function 'st_of_flexgen_setup': drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c:323:9: warning: 'num_parents' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_mount': kernel/cgroup.c:2119:11: warning: 'root' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] All of these are false positives, so it seems better to just disable the warnings whenever GCOV is enabled. Most users don't enable GCOV, and based on a prior patch, it is now also disabled for 'allmodconfig' builds, so there should be no downsides of doing this.
