Subject: Re: [PATCH] selftests: proc: mark vsyscall strings maybe-unused

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your feedback, I didn't notice that __maybe_unused is
defined repeatedly in selftests directory.

Following your suggestions, I've submitted a cleanup patch that centralise
the __maybe_unused definition in tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h and
removed the redundant copies across the selftests subdirectories.
I've tested it with gcc and clang, and it builds cleanly.

Patch Link:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250821101159.2238-1-reddybalavignesh9979@gmail.com/

Will also look into build system, to tackle including kselftest.h everywhere

Thanks,
Bala Vignesh
