This one seems like a false positive.
drivers/char/hpet.c:670:
mutex_lock(&hpet_mutex);
err = hpet_ioctl_common(file->private_data, cmd, arg, &info);
mutex_unlock(&hpet_mutex);
if ((cmd == HPET_INFO) && !err &&
(copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &info, sizeof(info))))
err = -EFAULT;
`info` is only being copied to userspace when `cmd` is `HPET_INFO`.
However, hpet_ioctl_common() is already doing memset() on `info` in
`case HPET_INFO`:
drivers/char/hpet.c:612:
case HPET_INFO:
{
memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info));
^^^^^^
