Hi, please backport the following two patches to 6.1.y:
- d1babea9c382 ("perf bench: Avoid NDEBUG warning")
- 984a785f25e5 ("perf block-range: Move debug code behind ifndef NDEBUG")
They are stable dependencies for commit 616b14b47a86 ("perf build: Conditionally
define NDEBUG") which was backported to v6.1.176 as 7bf35a0237d04.
That commit adds -DNDEBUG=1 to perf CFLAGS, which compiles out assert() calls,
leaving variables consumed only by asserts as unused-but-set. Combined with
-Werror this breaks the build:
bench/find-bit-bench.c:64:22: error: variable 'old' set but not used
util/block-range.c:20:13: error: variable 'old' set but not used
We need these two dependency patches, because both guard assert-only variables
with #ifndef NDEBUG so they are compiled out alongside the asserts they
validate.
Tested using our regression test suite including kselftest and LTP on various
EC2 instances.
Thanks.
- Simon

With NDEBUG set the asserts are compiled out. This yields
"unused-but-set-variable" variables. Move these variables behind
NDEBUG to avoid the warning.

Make good on a comment and avoid a unused-but-set-variable warning.
