The variable 'fname' is mistakenly defined two twice, the first definition is in the vmcore-dmesg.c, and the second definition is in the elf_info.c. That is confused and incorrect although it's a static type, because the value of variable 'fname' is not assigned(set) in elf_info.c. Anyway, its value will be always 'null' when printing an error information.
