+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.]

+Subject: [PATCH] disable -Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
+
+gcc-8 warns for every single definition of a system call entry
+point, e.g.:
+
+include/linux/compat.h:56:18: error: 'compat_sys_rt_sigprocmask' alias between functions of incompatible types 'long int(int, compat_sigset_t *, compat_sigset_t *, compat_size_t)' {aka 'long int(int, struct <anonymous> *, struct <anonymous> *, unsigned int)'} and 'long int(long int, long int, long int, long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias]
+ asmlinkage long compat_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__))\
+ ^~~~~~~~~~
+include/linux/compat.h:45:2: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
+ COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx(4, _##name, __VA_ARGS__)
+ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+kernel/signal.c:2601:1: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4'
+ COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4(rt_sigprocmask, int, how, compat_sigset_t __user *, nset,
+ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+include/linux/compat.h:60:18: note: aliased declaration here
+ asmlinkage long compat_SyS##name(__MAP(x,__SC_LONG,__VA_ARGS__))\
+ ^~~~~~~~~~
+
+The new warning seems reasonable in principle, but it doesn't
+help us here, since we rely on the type mismatch to sanitize the
+system call arguments. After I reported this as GCC PR82435, a new
+-Wno-attribute-alias option was added that could be used to turn the
+warning off globally on the command line, but I'd prefer to do it a
+little more fine-grained.
+
+Interestingly, turning a warning off and on again inside of
+a single macro doesn't always work, in this case I had to add
+an extra statement inbetween and decided to copy the __SC_TEST
+one from the native syscall to the compat syscall macro. See
+https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83256 for more details
+about this.
+
+[paul.burton@mips.com:
+ - Rebase atop current master.
+ - Split GCC & version arguments to __diag_ignore() in order to match
+ changes to the preceding patch.
+ - Add the comment argument to match the preceding patch.]
