Compiling kernel and selftests/bpf with latest llvm like blow:
  make -j LLVM=1
  make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf -j LLVM=1
I hit the following compilation error:
  /.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:215:6: error: variable 'log_buf' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
          if (!ASSERT_OK_PTR(raw_btf_data, "raw_btf_data_good"))
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  /.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:264:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
          free(log_buf);
               ^~~~~~~
  /.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:215:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
          if (!ASSERT_OK_PTR(raw_btf_data, "raw_btf_data_good"))
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  /.../prog_tests/log_buf.c:205:15: note: initialize the variable 'log_buf' to silence this warning
          char *log_buf;
                       ^
                        = NULL
  1 error generated.

Compiler rightfully detected that log_buf is uninitialized in one of failure path as indicated
in the above.

Proper initialization of 'log_buf' variable fixed the issue.
