    x86: vvar, fix excessive gcc-6 DECLARE_VVAR warnings · d6ace935
    Jiri Slaby authored
    On 3.12, with gcc-6, I see a lot of:
    arch/x86/include/asm/vvar.h:33:28: warning: ‘vvaraddr_jiffies’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable]
      static type const * const vvaraddr_ ## name =   \
                                ^
    arch/x86/include/asm/vvar.h:46:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DECLARE_VVAR’
     DECLARE_VVAR(0, volatile unsigned long, jiffies)
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    In upstream, this is fixed by ef721987 (x86, vdso: Introduce VVAR
    marco for vdso32) and f40c3300 (x86, vdso: Move the vvar and hpet
    mappings next to the 64-bit vDSO). But this is not applicable to
    stable.
    
    So mark the vvar declaration as __maybe_unused and be done with it.
    This will generate it to the code only if it is used. I.e. the same as
    with gcc < 6.
