Subject: [PATCH] x86/smp: Unused value freq_scale
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 12:44:05 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210910184405.24422-1-tim.gardner@canonical.com> (raw)
Coverity warns of an unused value in arch_scale_freq_tick().
CID 100778 (#1 of 1): Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)
assigned_value: Assigning value 1024ULL to freq_scale here, but that stored
value is overwritten before it can be used.
e2b0d619b400a ("x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant
accounting") introduced this warning.
Fix this by removing the variable initializer.
