Remove double initializations in cases where that's easily possible
- like extra NULL initialization in static global structures. In the
other cases just silence -Woverride-init.

To fix warnings like the following:
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/switch.c:271:43: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
  271 |         [ESR_ELx_EC_CP15_32]            = kvm_hyp_handle_cp15_32,
      |                                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wording you are looking for is "Silence stupid warning". I really
mean it. There is really nothing wrong with this code, and if the
compiler doesn't understand the purpose of a default initialiser, then
*maybe* it should be fixed rather than polluting the kernel with this
stuff.

Is this really any better? I don't think so. It makes the intent
disappear instead of making it explicit. Intent matters *a lot*.

IMO this would be a lot more palatable if this were an attribute on the
struct or assignment, like we asked for in the past:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190809083251.GA48423@lakrids.cambridge.arm.com/

Having something that we could put specifically on the default assignment would
make this a lot more legible and better capture the intent.

Mark.

I'm not claiming that it's an improvement to the code. But yea, I see your
point. How about disabling that flag in the makefile?

Thanks,

Yea, I double checked in the gcc doc - there seems to be no other means to
silence this per var or assignment. We can disable that in the makefile
for the whole file or dir or we keep it as it is.

Thanks,
Sebastian

<rant>
Silencing pointless warnings should never have priority over keeping
the code maintainable and understandable. I hope we can agree we are
not in the business of making the kernel *worse* than it already is on
that front, right?
</rant>

I like good tooling as much as the next kernel tinkerer. But W=1 is,
in its current form, quite the opposite. Mark posted a link to a 5
year old thread, showing a number of ways compilers could use extra
annotation to lift the multiple initialisation ambiguity. This
approach has seen no traction, which is a bit sad.

> But yea, I see your point. How about disabling that flag in the

Yes, that'd be a reasonable workaround until someone fixes the
toolchains. I see that Loongarch is already doing it for the exact
same purpose.

Thanks,
