commit22bec11a56upstream. When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard() infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping to an out label. When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the "ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.

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 reStructuredText 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.
