From: Martin Schwidefsky A kernel compile on 31 bit gives the following warnings in ptrace.c: arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c: In function 'peek_user': arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c:207: warning: unused variable 'dummy' arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c: In function 'poke_user': arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c:315: warning: unused variable 'dummy' Getting rid of the dummy variables removes the warnings.
