Subject: [PATCH] core: Initialize cu-&gt;node with INIT_LIST_HEAD()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In cu__new() zalloc() is used defensively, and that helped catch this
problem where we assume that a cu us in the cus list of cu instances,
but that is not the case when we use cus__merge_and_process_cu(), for
instance when loading files created by clang with LTO, as reported by
Peter Jung and narrowed down by Nathan Chancellor.

If we use INIT_LIST_HEAD() in cu__new() to initialize cu-&gt;node, which is
what we do with other lists and nodes there, then the unconditional
removal using list_del_init() will be a no-op and removing something not
on the cus list of cu instances will not cause problems, just keep an
unconsistent cus-&gt;nr_entries field.

So lets just have this fix in first, keeping Nathan's Tested-by and then
do the a bit more involved fix of either adding that cu to the cus list
or checking at removal time if it is there.
