[PATCH v2] trace2: refactor to avoid gcc warning under -O3

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-11 13:04:36
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Refactor tr2_dst_try_uds_connect() to avoid a gcc warning[1] that
appears under -O3 (but not -O2). This makes the build pass under
DEVELOPER=1 without needing a DEVOPTS=no-error.

This can be reproduced with GCC Debian 8.3.0-6, but not e.g. with
clang 7.0.1-8+deb10u2. We've had this warning since
ee4512ed481 (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22).

As noted in [2] this warning happens because the compiler doesn't
assume that errno must be non-zero after a failed syscall. Let's work
around it as suggested in that analysis. We now return -1 ourselves on
error, and save away the value of errno in a variable the caller
passes in.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61846 for a related
bug report against GCC.

What's the concensus if any on this topic?
Having read Johannes's comments I think it's still most readable to
just return -1 unconditionally. The resulting code isn't weird, I'd
argue that it's a better pattern to save away errno like this, but the
commit messages notes that we're working around a GCC bug.
In any case, this needs to be signed off before it gets carved into
our history.
Done, and also changed the variable name to minimize the size of the
diff. A shorter name allowed for less re-flowing of lines.
