RH-MergeRequest: 381: Solve -ftrivial-auto-var-init performance regression with QEMU_UNINITIALIZED
RH-Jira: RHEL-95479
RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
RH-Commit: [1/31] ddf39e782add4426708480dfb78ebbd71fb777f0 (stefanha/centos-stream-qemu-kvm)
The QEMU_UNINITIALIZED macro is to be used to skip the default compiler
variable initialization done by -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero.
Use this in cases where there a method in the device I/O path (or other
important hot paths), that has large variables on the stack. A rule of
thumb is that "large" means a method with 4kb data in the local stack
frame. Any variables which are KB in size, should be annotated with this
attribute, to pre-emptively eliminate any potential overhead from the
compiler zero'ing memory.
Given that this turns off a security hardening feature, when using this
to flag variables, it is important that the code is double-checked to
ensure there is no possible use of uninitialized data in the method.
