Kees Cook 254abd3d87 lib: stackinit: hide never-taken branch from compiler
commit 5c3793604f91123bf49bc792ce697a0bef4c173c upstream.

The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by
design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the
variable from the optimizer.

../lib/stackinit_kunit.c: In function 'do_nothing_u16_zero':
../lib/stackinit_kunit.c:51:49: error: array subscript 1 is outside array bounds of 'u16[0]' {aka 'short unsigned int[]'} [-Werror=array-bounds=]
   51 | #define DO_NOTHING_RETURN_SCALAR(ptr)           *(ptr)
      |                                                 ^~~~~~
../lib/stackinit_kunit.c:219:24: note: in expansion of macro 'DO_NOTHING_RETURN_SCALAR'
  219 |                 return DO_NOTHING_RETURN_ ## which(ptr + 1);    \
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
