[PATCH -next] x86/sev: Remove unused variable "err" in enforce_vmpl0()
Posted by Li Zetao 1 year, 7 months ago 
Gcc report warning as follows:

arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.c: In function ‘enforce_vmpl0’:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.c:256:13: error: unused variable ‘err’
 [-Werror=unused-variable]

Fix it by removing the unused variable "err".

How do you trigger this? Compiler version and .config?

I haven't seen this one in any of my builds until now...

Thx.

My Compiler version is 11.2.0. I used the default .config and compiled 
with flags "-Wall -Werror", just as follows:

     make allmodconfig

     make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror"


Best regards

Ah, compressed/Makefile doesn't have -Wall. That's the old problem of
x86 not sharing makefiles. I need to dust off my patches which do that.

Now, if you do:

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
index 35ce1a64068b..10abb7c45d04 100644

 cflags-$(CONFIG_X86_32) := -march=i386
 cflags-$(CONFIG_X86_64) := -mcmodel=small -mno-red-zone

then allmodconfig triggers a bunch:

Would you like to do the above instead and fix them all in one go?

Thx.

The boot code really needs to be refactored, especially that the real-mode BIOS code is built in the root of that tree.

You're going to have to expand on that a bit and give more details as to
what do you mean exactly. I think you mean arch/x86/realmode/ but I'm
not sure...

Thx.
