Per C99 standard [0], Section 6.7.8, Paragraph 10:
If an object that has automatic storage duration is not initialized
explicitly, its value is indeterminate.
And in the same document, in appendix "J.2 Undefined behavior":
The behavior is undefined in the following circumstances:
[...]
The value of an object with automatic storage duration is used while
it is indeterminate (6.2.4, 6.7.8, 6.8).
This means that use of an uninitialized stack variable is undefined
behavior, and therefore that clang can choose to do a variety of scary
things, such as not generating bytecode for "bunch of useful code" in
the below example:
void some_func()
{
int i;
if (!i)
return;
// bunch of useful code
}
To add insult to injury, if some_func above is a helper function for
some BPF program, clang can choose to not generate an "exit" insn,
causing verifier to fail with "last insn is not an exit or jmp". Going
from that verification failure to the root cause of uninitialized use
is certain to be frustrating.
This patch adds -Wuninitialized to the cflags for selftest BPF progs and
fixes up existing instances of uninitialized use.

Clean up user_ringbuf, cgrp_kfunc, and kfunc_dynptr_param tests to use
the generic verification tester for checking verifier rejections.
The generic verification tester uses btf_decl_tag-based annotations
for verifying that the tests fail with the expected log messages.

ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR is akin to ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER, ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR, where
the underlying register type is subjected to more special checks to
determine the type of object represented by the pointer and its state
consistency.
Move dynptr checks to their own 'process_dynptr_func' function so that
is consistent and in-line with existing code. This also makes it easier
to reuse this code for kfunc handling.
Then, reuse this consolidated function in kfunc dynptr handling too.
Note that for kfuncs, the arg_type constraint of DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL has
been lifted.

Add tests to ensure that only supported dynamic pointer types are accepted,
that the passed argument is actually a dynamic pointer, that the passed
argument is a pointer to the stack, and that bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature()
correctly handles dynamic pointers with data set to NULL.
The tests are currently in the deny list for s390x (JIT does not support
calling kernel function).
