-Subject: tools lib traceevent: Fix use of uninitialized variables
-Forwarded: no
-
-Fix a number of correct warnings from gcc:
-
-> plugin_function.c:133:6: warning: 'index' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
->   int index;
->       ^
-
-'index' is initialized only if indentation is wanted.  Move the
-printing of indentation using 'index' into the same if-statement.
-
-> kbuffer-parse.c: In function 'kbuffer_read_at_offset':
-> kbuffer-parse.c:632:9: warning: 'data' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
->   return data;
->          ^
-
-'data' is not initialized if the offset is too small.  Initialize it
-to NULL so that the behaviour is the same as when the offset is too
-large.
