We build with Werror and suffer build error when
enable CONFIG_PRINTK_INDEX, such as
gfp.h:223:2: error: unused variable '_entry_ptr'
ratelimit.h:31:3: error: unused variable '_entry_ptr'
kallsyms.h:172:2: error: unused variable '_entry_ptr'
[-Werror,-Wunused-variable]
Fix the warning by appending __attribute__((unused)).

Are these warnings being emitted from an Android version of clang,
specifically 18.0.0 with the build ID of 11209041 (you should be able to
tell this from the "bid" field in the BUILD_INFO file in the clang
toolchain folder)? This seems remarkably similar to
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1977, which was a report
using that version of Android clang.
Ultimately, this warning is a bug in a clang change that was quickly
found and reverted upstream
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f0f395e00e2ec3f1f20ca9021d1554fde73d56c9
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/cfa578cde0314935c6eb5d7fa19ec26390d431dd
but unfortunately, Android picked a revision for the 11209041 build that
was between the landing of the broken commit and its revert. It was
quickly fixed with the 11368308 build
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/+/42d100b025eb5f4a41781348016c148e9e912cf9
so you should just be able to update to that version to resolve this.
Cheers,
Nathan

Yes, the build warning suffer after Clang upgraded to 18.0.0 in below
bellow patch. We will discuss with Google about Clang.
ANDROID: Kleaf: Switch to Clang 18.0.0 (r510928)
