Perhaps these would make doing allmodconfig builds with clang more frequently less painful for you? https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/20230319235619.GA18547@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/ > That syncpt_irq thing isn't written to anywhere, so that's pretty egregious. > > We use -Wno-maybe-uninitialized because gcc gets it so wrong, but > that's different from the "-Wuninitialized" thing (without the > "maybe"). > > I've seen gcc mess this up when there is one single assignment, > because then the SSA format makes it *so* easy to just use that > assignment out-of-order (or unconditionally), but this case looks > unusually clear-cut. > > So the fact that gcc doesn't warn about it is outright odd. > > > If that does not come to you through other means before -rc4, could you > > just apply it directly so that I can stop applying it to our CI? :) > > Bah.

The start of the thread is here: https://lore.kernel.org/CAHk-=wgSqpdkeJBb92M37JNTdRQJRnRUApraHKE8uGHTqQuu2Q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The problematic function before the fix is here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/host1x/dev.c?id=3d3699bde4b043eea17993e4e76804a8128f0fdb#n487 I will see if I have some cycles to try and reduce something out for the GCC folks.
