A clang user pointed out that messages for the static analyzer undefined
assignment checker use the term ‘garbage’, which might have a negative
connotation to some users. This change updates the messages to use the
term ‘uninitialized’. This is the usual reason why a value is undefined
in the static analyzer and describes the logical error that a programmer
should take action to fix.
Out-of-bounds reads can also produce undefined values in the static
analyzer. The right long-term design is to have to the array bounds
checker cover out-of-bounds reads, so we do not cover that case in the
updated messages. The recent improvements to the array bounds checker
make it a candidate to add to the core set of checkers.

without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the ninth batch of tests being updated (there are a
significant number of other tests left to be updated).
Summary:
The kernel kmalloc function may return a constant value ZERO_SIZE_PTR
if a zero-sized block is allocated. This special value is allowed to
be passed to kfree and should produce no warning.
This is a simple version but should be no problem. The macro is always
detected independent of if this is a kernel source code or any other
code.

Exactly what it says on the tin! I decided not to merge this with the patch that
changes all these to a CallDescriptionMap object, so the patch is that much more
trivial.

Add M_ZERO awareness to malloc() static analysis in Clang for FreeBSD,
NetBSD, and OpenBSD in a similar fashion to O_CREAT for open(2).
These systems have a three-argument malloc() in the kernel where the
third argument contains flags; the M_ZERO flag will zero-initialize the
allocated buffer.
This should reduce the number of false positives when running static
analysis on BSD kernels.
Additionally, add kmalloc() (Linux kernel malloc()) and treat __GFP_ZERO
like M_ZERO on Linux.
Future work involves a better method of checking for named flags without
hardcoding values.
Patch by Conrad Meyer, with minor modifications by me.
