While the kernel is built with warnings enabled for any missed
|
||
|
|
stack variable initializations, this warning is silenced for
|
||
|
|
anything passed by reference to another function, under the
|
||
|
|
occasionally misguided assumption that the function will do
|
||
|
|
the initialization. As this regularly leads to exploitable
|
||
|
|
flaws, this plugin is available to identify and zero-initialize
|
||
|
|
such variables, depending on the chosen level of coverage.

This option enables initialization of stack variables at
|
||
|
|
function entry time. This has the possibility to have the
|
||
|
|
greatest coverage (since all functions can have their
|
||
|
|
variables initialized), but the performance impact depends
|
||
|
|
on the function calling complexity of a given workload's
|
||
|
|
syscalls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This chooses the level of coverage over classes of potentially
|
||
|
|
uninitialized variables. The selected class will be
|
||
|
|
initialized before use in a function.

This option will cause a warning to be printed each time the
|
||
|
|
structleak plugin finds a variable it thinks needs to be
|
||
|
|
initialized. Since not all existing initializers are detected
|
||
|
|
by the plugin, this can produce false positive warnings.
