Something in here:

                dmabounce_sync_for_cpu(dev, sg_dma_address(s), 0,
                                        sg_dma_len(s), dir);

This has been there for ages.  FLASH_BASE and FLASH_SIZE are silly
identifier for any code to use anywhere, really.

EPROM_SIZE namespace clash.

> crypto/testmgr.c: In function `alg_test_comp':
> crypto/testmgr.c:829: warning: 'ret' might be used uninitialized in this function

There's no way for the compiler to know that this code isn't buggy.

Suggest that this be fixed via uninitialized_var() or, better, convert
to a do{}while() loop.

I notice that test_comp() also has two locals called `ret' - one
shadowing the other.

> mm/mlock.c: In function `__mlock_vma_pages_range':
> mm/mlock.c:169: warning: 'ret' might be used uninitialized in this function

Again, gcc can't know this is unbuggy.  a do{}while() conversion would
fix it, I guess.

Zzzz..

DRM has been breaking arm allmodconfig for at least a year.

More CALLER_ADDR stuff.

> net/netlabel/netlabel_mgmt.c: In function `netlbl_mgmt_listentry':
> net/netlabel/netlabel_mgmt.c:268: warning: 'ret_val' might be used uninitialized in this function

Assumes that netlbl_af4list_foreach_rcu() will never iterate zero times.

Assumes that entry->type can never have an unexpected value.

gcc cannot get this right, and C-level changes will be needed to shut
this up.


> net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function `phonet_device_get':
> net/phonet/pn_dev.c:72: warning: 'dev' might be used uninitialized in this function

Assumes that pndevs.list can enver be empty.  Only fixable at the C
level.  uninitialized_var(), or initialize it to NULL or whatever.

Statically defined storage in a header file.  Puke.

> crypto/async_tx/async_tx.c: In function `async_trigger_callback':
> crypto/async_tx/async_tx.c:584: warning: 'chan' might be used uninitialized in this function

I suppose that if gcc was genius enough they might make this go away. 
But I expect the code could be reorganised to fix this.

This looks like a bug.

Well that's weird.

That's the new quota stuff.  I thought I fixed that...
