slub: avoid false-postive warning
The slub allocator gives us some incorrect warnings when CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is set, as the unlikely() macro prevents it from seeing that the return code matches what it was before: mm/slub.c: In function `kmem_cache_free_bulk': mm/slub.c:262:23: error: `df.s' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] mm/slub.c:2943:3: error: `df.cnt' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] mm/slub.c:2933:4470: error: `df.freelist' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] mm/slub.c:2943:3: error: `df.tail' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] I have not been able to come up with a perfect way for dealing with this, the three options I see are: - add a bogus initialization, which would increase the runtime overhead - replace unlikely() with unlikely_notrace() - remove the unlikely() annotation completely I checked the object code for a typical x86 configuration and the last two cases produce the same result, so I went for the last one, which is the simplest.
