[PATCH 4.12 120/196] ftrace: Fix uninitialized variable in match_records()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2017-07-25 19:24:52
Also in: lkml

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>

commit 2e028c4fe12907f226b8221815f16c2486ad3aa7 upstream.

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter"
is uninitialized.  This seems like it could be true, although it's
possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen.

    kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3844 match_records()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'clear_filter'.
