[for-linus][PATCH 1/7] tracing: Initialize val to zero in parse_entry of inject code

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Jan 06 2020 - 16:20:01 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

gcc produces a variable may be uninitialized warning for "val" in
parse_entry(). This is really a false positive, but the code is subtle
enough to just initialize val to zero and it's not a fast path to worry
about it.

Marked for stable to remove the warning in the stable trees as well.
