Certain BPF selftests contain code that, albeit being legal C, trigger warnings in GCC that cannot be disabled. This is the case for example for the tests progs/btf_dump_test_case_bitfields.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_namespacing.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_packing.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_padding.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_syntax.c which contain struct type declarations inside function parameter lists. This is problematic, because: - The BPF selftests are built with -Werror. - The Clang and GCC compilers sometimes differ when it comes to handle warnings. in the handling of warnings. One compiler may emit warnings for code that the other compiles compiles silently, and one compiler may offer the possibility to disable certain warnings, while the other doesn't. In order to overcome this problem, this patch modifies the tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile in order to: 1. Enable the possibility of specifing per-source-file extra CFLAGS. This is done by defining a make variable like: <source-filename>-CFLAGS := <whateverflags> And then modifying the proper Make rule in order to use these flags when compiling <source-filename>. 2. Use the mechanism above to add -Wno-error to CFLAGS for the following selftests: progs/btf_dump_test_case_bitfields.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_namespacing.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_packing.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_padding.c progs/btf_dump_test_case_syntax.c Note the corresponding -CFLAGS variables for these files are defined only if the selftests are being built with GCC. Note that, while compiler pragmas can generally be used to disable particular warnings per file, this 1) is only possible for warning that actually can be disabled in the command line, i.e. that have -Wno-FOO options, and 2) doesn't apply to -Wno-error.
