i_arg is not used at all therefore remove it. This also prevents a warning with gcc 5.2 when -Wincompatible-pointer-types is enabled: fs/binfmt_em86.c:73:35: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘copy_strings_kernel’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] retval = copy_strings_kernel(1, &i_arg, bprm); The second error would come from i_name which is defined as char pointer without the const attribute. fs/binfmt_em86.c:71:34: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘copy_strings_kernel’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] retval = copy_strings_kernel(1, &i_name, bprm); While at it, check the remove_arg_zero return value too. fs/binfmt_em86.c:68:2: warning: ignoring return value of ‘remove_arg_zero’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] remove_arg_zero(bprm); ^ Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de> --- I forgot to Cc the linux-alpha list and Cc also the alpha arch maintainers... 2nd try. fs/binfmt_em86.c | 12 ++++-------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
