The kernel supports a minimum GCC version of 5.1.0 for building. However,
the "__diag_ignore_all" directive only suppresses the
"-Wmissing-prototypes" warning for GCC versions >= 8.0.0. As a result, when
building the kernel with older GCC versions, warnings may be triggered. The
example below illustrates the warnings reported by the kernel test robot
using GCC 7.5.0:
compiler: gcc-7 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-6ubuntu2) 7.5.0
All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
kernel/bpf/helpers.c:1893:19: warning: no previous prototype for 'bpf_obj_new_impl' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
__bpf_kfunc void *bpf_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/bpf/helpers.c:1907:19: warning: no previous prototype for 'bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
__bpf_kfunc void *bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign)
[...]
To address this, we should also suppress the "-Wmissing-prototypes" warning
for older GCC versions. Since "#pragma GCC diagnostic push" is supported as
of GCC 4.6, it is acceptable to ignore these warnings for GCC >= 5.1.0.
