[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/sstep: Don’t define variables we won’t be using

From: Link Mauve <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-29 20:50:12
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

It seems this function has only compiled without warnings on PPC64, not
on PowerPC, so before this commit it would fail with:
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c: In function 'analyse_instr':
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:1350:28: error: variable 'suffix' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
 1350 |         unsigned int word, suffix;
      |                            ^~~~~~
../arch/powerpc/lib/sstep.c:1346:38: error: variable 'rc' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
 1346 |         unsigned int opcode, ra, rb, rc, rd, spr, u;
      |                                      ^~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
