-Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add macro for controlling warnings to
- linux/compiler.h
-
-I have occasionally run into a situation where it would make sense to
-control a compiler warning from a source file rather than doing so from
-a Makefile using the $(cc-disable-warning, ...) or $(cc-option, ...)
-helpers.
-
-The approach here is similar to what glibc uses, using __diag() and
-related macros to encapsulate a _Pragma("GCC diagnostic ...") statement
-that gets turned into the respective "#pragma GCC diagnostic ..." by
-the preprocessor when the macro gets expanded.
-
-Like glibc, I also have an argument to pass the affected compiler
-version, but decided to actually evaluate that one. For now, this
-supports GCC_4_6, GCC_4_7, GCC_4_8, GCC_4_9, GCC_5, GCC_6, GCC_7,
-GCC_8 and GCC_9. Adding support for CLANG_5 and other interesting
-versions is straightforward here. GNU compilers starting with gcc-4.2
-could support it in principle, but "#pragma GCC diagnostic push"
-was only added in gcc-4.6, so it seems simpler to not deal with those
-at all. The same versions show a large number of warnings already,
-so it seems easier to just leave it at that and not do a more
-fine-grained control for them.
-
-The use cases I found so far include:
-
-- turning off the gcc-8 -Wattribute-alias warning inside of the
-  SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro without having to do it globally.
-
-- Reducing the build time for a simple re-make after a change,
-  once we move the warnings from ./Makefile and
-  ./scripts/Makefile.extrawarn into linux/compiler.h
-
-- More control over the warnings based on other configurations,
-  using preprocessor syntax instead of Makefile syntax. This should make
-  it easier for the average developer to understand and change things.
-
-- Adding an easy way to turn the W=1 option on unconditionally
-  for a subdirectory or a specific file. This has been requested
-  by several developers in the past that want to have their subsystems
-  W=1 clean.
-
-- Integrating clang better into the build systems. Clang supports
-  more warnings than GCC, and we probably want to classify them
-  as default, W=1, W=2 etc, but there are cases in which the
-  warnings should be classified differently due to excessive false
-  positives from one or the other compiler.
-
-- Adding a way to turn the default warnings into errors (e.g. using
-  a new "make E=0" tag) while not also turning the W=1 warnings into
-  errors.
-
-This patch for now just adds the minimal infrastructure in order to
-do the first of the list above. As the #pragma GCC diagnostic
-takes precedence over command line options, the next step would be
-to convert a lot of the individual Makefiles that set nonstandard
-options to use __diag() instead.
-
-[paul.burton@mips.com:
-  - Rebase atop current master.
-  - Add __diag_GCC, or more generally __diag_<compiler>, abstraction to
-    avoid code outside of linux/compiler-gcc.h needing to duplicate
-    knowledge about different GCC versions.
-  - Add a comment argument to __diag_{ignore,warn,error} which isn't
-    used in the expansion of the macros but serves to push people to
-    document the reason for using them - per feedback from Kees Cook.
-  - Translate severity to GCC-specific pragmas in linux/compiler-gcc.h
-    rather than using GCC-specific in linux/compiler_types.h.
-  - Drop all but GCC 8 macros, since we only need to define macros for
-    versions that we need to introduce pragmas for, and as of this
-    series that's just GCC 8.
-  - Capitalize comments in linux/compiler-gcc.h to match the style of
-    the rest of the file.
-  - Line up macro definitions with tabs in linux/compiler-gcc.h.]
