    perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables · 1d037ca1
    Irina Tirdea authored
    perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
    unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
    __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
    __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
    also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
    '__used__' attribute ignored
    
    __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
    If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
    conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
    in its headers.
    
    The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
    kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
    definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
    same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
    This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
    __maybe_unused.
