6.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org
commit 1ed171a3afe81531b3ace96bd151a372dda3ee25 upstream.
After a recent change in clang to strengthen uninitialized warnings [1], it points out that in one of the error paths in parse_btf_arg(), params is used uninitialized:
kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:660:19: warning: variable 'params' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized] 660 | return PTR_ERR(params); | ^~~~~~
Match many other NO_BTF_ENTRY error cases and return -ENOENT, clearing up the warning.
