------------------------------------------------------ From: Nathan Chancellor natechancellor@gmail.com Subject: kasan: initialize tag to 0xff in __kasan_kmalloc
When building with -Wuninitialized and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS unset, Clang warns:
mm/kasan/common.c:484:40: warning: variable 'tag' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized] kasan_unpoison_shadow(set_tag(object, tag), size); ^~~
set_tag ignores tag in this configuration but clang doesn't realize it at this point in its pipeline, as it points to arch_kasan_set_tag as being the point where it is used, which will later be expanded to (void *)(object) without a use of tag. Initialize tag to 0xff, as it removes this warning and doesn't change the meaning of the code.
