[RFC PATCH] target/ppc/mmu: Silent maybe-uninitialized error in ppc_hash64_xlate()

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Initialize apshift to avoid a maybe-uninitialized error:

  C compiler for the host machine: cc -m64 -mbig-endian (gcc 13.2.0 "cc (Debian 
13.2.0-10) 13.2.0")
  C linker for the host machine: cc -m64 -mbig-endian ld.bfd 2.41.90.20240115
  Host machine cpu family: ppc64
  Host machine cpu: ppc64
  ...
  target/ppc/mmu-hash64.c: In function 'ppc_hash64_xlate':
  target/ppc/mmu-hash64.c:1154:15: error: 'apshift' may be used uninitialized 
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
   1154 |     *raddrp = deposit64(pte.pte1 & HPTE64_R_RPN, 0, apshift, eaddr);
        |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  target/ppc/mmu-hash64.c:947:14: note: 'apshift' was declared here
    947 |     unsigned apshift;
        |              ^~~~~~~

The call chain is:

  ppc_hash64_xlate -> ppc_hash64_htab_lookup -> ppc_hash64_pteg_search

ppc_hash64_pteg_search() either sets *pshift or returns -1,

ppc_hash64_htab_lookup() returns if ppc_hash64_pteg_search()
returned -1:

  1068:    ptex = ppc_hash64_htab_lookup(cpu, slb, eaddr, &pte, &apshift);
  1069:    if (ptex == -1) {
  1070:        if (!guest_visible) {
  1071:            return false;
  1072:        }
               ...
  1087:        return false;

So IIUC this "uninitialized use" can not happens.

I had this in an old branch (2 months old) I just rebased,
and don't get why nobody else got this error yet.
