Clang static analysis reports this false positive
glob.c:48:32: warning: Assigned value is garbage
or undefined
char const *back_pat = NULL, *back_str = back_str;
^~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
back_str is set after back_pat and it's use is protected by the !back_pat
check. It is not necessary to initialize back_str, so remove the
initialization.

The following build error for powerpc64 was reported by Nathan Chancellor:

arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c:586:4: error: 'fallthrough' undeclared (first use in this function)
586 | fallthrough;

This will end up affecting distribution configurations such as Debian
and OpenSUSE according to my testing. I am not sure what the solution
is, the PowerPC wrapper does not set -D__KERNEL__ so I am not sure
that compiler_attributes.h can be safely included."
In order to avoid these sort of problems, it seems that the best
solution is to use /* fall through */ comments instead of the
fallthrough pseudo-keyword macro in lib/, for now.

This was useful during development, and is retained for future
regression testing.
GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
module load.
Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
arrays. Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read. At least the
tests are more compact.

This is a helper function from drivers/ata/libata_core.c, where it is
used to blacklist particular device models. It's being moved to lib/ so
other drivers may use it for the same purpose.
This implementation in non-recursive, so is safe for the kernel stack.
