Caught by clang's -Wsometimes-uninitialized and accepting the suggested
fix:

lib/trace-cmd/trace-input.c:4325:6: error: variable 'sec' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (handle->file_state >= start_state) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/trace-cmd/trace-input.c:4336:6: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        if (sec)
            ^~~
lib/trace-cmd/trace-input.c:4325:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (handle->file_state >= start_state) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/trace-cmd/trace-input.c:4311:26: note: initialize the variable 'sec' to silence this warning
        struct file_section *sec;
                                ^
                                 = NULL

So I applied this patch myself and gave a Reported-by to you, as it
requires the author to have their SOB.
