Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/p4: Fix unused variable warning in p4_pmu_init()
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:22:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319152210.210854-1-aldocontelk@gmail.com> (raw)
Build the kernel with make W=1 generates the following warning:
arch/x86/events/intel/p4.c: In function ‘p4_pmu_init’:
arch/x86/events/intel/p4.c:1370:27: error: variable ‘high’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
1370 | unsigned int low, high;
| ^~~~
This happens because, although both variables are declared and
initialized by rdmsr, only `low` is used in the subsequent if statement.
This patch prints the full content of Model-Specific Register
via `pr_cont` and so both the low and high part. It is also
very useful to have the contents of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE
in dmesg for debugging purposes.
Running `make W=1` again resolves the error.
I was unable to test the patch because
i do not have the hardware.
