IntelFrameworkModulePkg: GenericBdsLib: set Status before use
The recent patch titled
IntelFrameworkModulePkg/GenericBdsLib: remove AcpiS3->S3Save() call
has exposed a preexistent bug in the BdsLibBootViaBootOption() function,
and now the IA32 build of OVMF fails with:
In function 'BdsLibBootViaBootOption':
error: 'Status' may be used uninitialized in this function
Namely, we have the following (simplified) data flow:
//
// Status and ImageHandle both start out uninitialized
//
/* ... */
ImageHandle = BdsExpandUsbShortFormDevicePath (DevicePath);
/* ... */
if (ImageHandle == NULL) {
/* ... */
}
if ((ImageHandle == NULL) || (EFI_ERROR(Status))) {
/* ... */
*/
If BdsExpandUsbShortFormDevicePath() returns a non-NULL value, then the
second "if" statement will check Status without the function having
initialized or assigned it.
When BdsExpandUsbShortFormDevicePath() returns non-NULL, Status should be
EFI_SUCCESS; so let us assign it that value up-front.
Note that the bug existed before the patch
IntelFrameworkModulePkg/GenericBdsLib: remove AcpiS3->S3Save() call
That is, the bug was not introduced, only exposed, by the patch -- in the
pre-patch state, although the Status variable was set early and
unconditionally, the error code that it may have carried from the failed
gEfiAcpiS3SaveProtocolGuid lookup had nothing to do with the second "if"
statement above.
