Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] x86/boot/compressed: Enable -Wunused and remove unused variables
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:02:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624120300.590233-6-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
This series marks potentially unused variables and functions as
__maybe_unused and removes truly unused ones. Patch 4 enables -Wunused,
matching the W=0 kernel defaults. With WERROR=y, the warnings failed as
follows:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:25:1: error: ‘__efi_get_rsdp_addr’ defined but not used
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:29:6: error: unused variable 'ret'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:57:15: error: unused variable 'nr_tables'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi.c:64:16: error: unused variable 'et'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi.c:136:6: error: unused variable 'ret'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.c:600:13: error: unused variable ‘i’
Patch 2 also drops a redundant efi_get_system_table() call and uses the
existing efi_get_conf_table() error path.
Changes in v2:
- Fix a kernel test robot issue by marking __efi_get_rsdp_addr() as
__maybe_unused: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202606240416.cXegPpiJ-lkp@intel.com/
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260621144116.224010-6-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
Thorsten Blum (4):
x86/boot/compressed: Remove unused variables in EFI helpers
x86/boot/compressed: Clean up EFI RSDP lookup in efi_get_rsdp_addr()
x86/boot/compressed: Mark process_mem_region() index __maybe_unused
x86/boot/compressed: Enable -Wunused
