Various version of gcc, when compiling with -Og, complain:

  xenstored_control.c: In function ‘lu_read_state’:

  function [-Werror=uninitialized]

Interestingly, this is only in the stubdom build.  I can't identify any
relevant differences vs the regular tools build.

But me. :-)

lu_get_dump_state() is empty for the stubdom case (this will change when
LU is implemented for stubdom, too). In the daemon case this function is
setting all the fields which are relevant.

So I spotted that.  This instance of lu_read_state() is already within
the ifdefary, so doesn't get to see the empty stub (I think).

Also, I'd expect the compiler to complain at -O2 if it spotted that code.

There is only one instance of lu_read_state().

Ahh - I got the NO_LIVE_UPDATE and __MINIOS__ ifdefary inverted.  (It is
very confusing to follow).

I'll reword the commit message, but leave the fix the same.

  #ifdef __MINIOS__
  static void lu_get_dump_state(struct lu_dump_state *state)
  {
  }

So the compiler is right to complain that

  lu_get_dump_state(&state);
  if (state.size == 0)
          barf_perror("No state found after live-update");

this will use state.size uninitialised.

It's probably just luck that this works at all, if it does,
anywhere...
