Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] x86/boot/compressed: Enable -Wunused and remove unused variables
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 12:56:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110115606.133611-6-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
This series removes unused variables and marks __efi_get_rsdp_addr() as
__maybe_unused. Patch 4 then 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 v5:
- Drop unrelated fall-through change from efi_get_system_table() (Ingo)
- Avoid __maybe_unused and declare index in for loop initializer (Ingo)
- v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261109124816.61438-6-blum@kernel.org/
Changes in v4:
- Add a newline to the log message in efi_get_system_table() (Jan)
- Make efi_get_system_table() static and update misc.h (Jan)
- v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261109005528.3477-6-blum@kernel.org/
Changes in v3:
- Rebase patch 4/4
- v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260624120300.590233-6-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
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/
