Subject[PATCH] powerpc/64s: Mark 'dummy_copy_buffer' as used
Date
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=]
