Compiling kernel and selftests/bpf with latest llvm like blow:
make -j LLVM=1
make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf -j LLVM=1
I hit the following compilation error:
/.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:215:6: error: variable 'log_buf' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!ASSERT_OK_PTR(raw_btf_data, "raw_btf_data_good"))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:264:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
free(log_buf);
^~~~~~~
/.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:215:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
if (!ASSERT_OK_PTR(raw_btf_data, "raw_btf_data_good"))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:205:15: note: initialize the variable 'log_buf' to silence this warning
char *log_buf;
^
= NULL
1 error generated.
Compiler rightfully detected that log_buf is uninitialized in one of failure path as indicated
in the above.
Proper initialization of 'log_buf' variable fixed the issue.

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.
