Subject: x86/split_lock: Remove dead string when split_lock_detect=fatal
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6823f10dcc84f35ca652eff0448f7da3d3b26548;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

x86/split_lock: Remove dead string when split_lock_detect=fatal

sld_state_show() has a dead str1 below:

  if (A) {
  	...
  } else if (B) {
  	pr_info(... A ? str1 : str2 ...);
  }

where A is always false in the second block, implied by the "if (A) else"
pattern. Hence, str2 is always used.

This seems to be some mysterious legacy inherited from the earlier patch
revisions of

  ebb1064e7c2e ("x86/traps: Handle #DB for bus lock").

Earlier revisions¹ did enable both sld and bld at the same time to detect
non-WB bus_locks when split_lock_detect=fatal, but that's no longer true in
the merged revision.

Remove it and translate the pr_info() into its equivalent form.
