GCC throws a warning on an arm64 system since the commit 9849a5697d3d ("arch, mm: convert all architectures to use 5level-fixup.h"), mm/kasan/init.c: In function 'kasan_free_p4d': mm/kasan/init.c:344:9: warning: variable 'p4d' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] p4d_t *p4d; ^~~ because p4d_none() in "5level-fixup.h" is compiled away while it is a static inline function in "pgtable-nopud.h". However, if converted p4d_none() to a static inline there, powerpc would be unhappy as it reads those in assembler language in "arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h", ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h: Assembler messages: ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:20: Error: unrecognized opcode: `static' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:21: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `{' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:22: Error: unrecognized opcode: `return' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:23: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `}' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:25: Error: unrecognized opcode: `static' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:26: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `{' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:27: Error: unrecognized opcode: `return' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:28: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `}' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:30: Error: unrecognized opcode: `static' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:31: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `{' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:32: Error: unrecognized opcode: `return' ./include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h:33: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `}' make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:375: arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o] Error 1 Fix it by reference the variable in the macro instead.
