In commit 07d2a628bc00 ("powerpc/64s: Avoid cpabort in context switch
when possible") a buffer 'dummy_copy_buffer' was introduced. gcc does
not see this buffer being used in the inline assembly within function
'__switch_to', explicitly marked this variable as being used.
Prefer using '__aligned' to get passed line over 80 characters warning
in checkpatch.
This remove the following warning:
arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1156:17: error: 'dummy_copy_buffer' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]

Powerpc accepts 90 characters, use arch/powerpc/tools/checkpatch.sh

commit 2bf1071a8d50 ("powerpc/64s: Remove POWER9 DD1 support") has
removed the fonction using 'dummy_copy_buffer' so you should remove it
completely.

Yes that would be better, thanks.
cheers
In commit 2bf1071a8d50 ("powerpc/64s: Remove POWER9 DD1 support") the
function __switch_to remove usage for 'dummy_copy_buffer'. Since it is
not used anywhere else, remove it completely.
This remove the following warning:
arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1156:17: error: 'dummy_copy_buffer' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]

v2: complely remove dummy_copy_buffer instead of marking it as used (since not anymore)

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
