With GCC version >= 8, the cgraph_create_edge() macro argument using "frequency" goes unused. Instead of assigning a temporary variable for the argument, pass the compute_call_stmt_bb_frequency() call directly as the macro argument so that it will just not be uncalled when it is not wanted by the macros. Silences the warning: scripts/gcc-plugins/stackleak_plugin.c:54:6: warning: variable ‘frequency’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Now builds cleanly with gcc-7 and gcc-9. Both boot and pass STACKLEAK_ERASING LKDTM test.
