Patch 6d0e025 "posix_cpu_timer: consolidate expiry time type" in linux-next
introduces a new compiler warning:
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule':
kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127:19: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
clear_dead_task(timer, now);
As far as I can tell, that warning is about an actual bug an not
a false positive, as that variable is clearly never initialized
when it gets used in line 1127.
Here is a patch that makes the warning go away for me, no idea if this is
the right solution or not.
