Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] panic: sys_info: Rewrite a fix for a compilation error (`make W=1`)
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:07:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029111202.3217870-6-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029111202.3217870-2-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

Compiler was not happy about dead variable in use:

lib/sys_info.c:52:19: error: variable 'sys_info_avail' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
   52 | static const char sys_info_avail[] = "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,all_bt,blocked_tasks";
      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was fixed by adding __maybe_unused attribute that just hides the issue
and didn't actually fix the root cause. Rewrite the fix by moving the local
variable from stack to a heap.

As a side effect this drops unneeded "synchronisation" of duplicative info
and also makes code ready for the further refactoring.
