From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The warning does nothing for newer versions of gcc since -fno-strict-overflow is used, on old versions it warns about lines that would be undefined otherwise: fs/isofs/util.c: In function 'iso_date': fs/isofs/util.c:40:14: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] tz |= (-1 << 8); ^~ drivers/video/fbdev/tdfxfb.c: In function 'tdfxfb_probe': drivers/video/fbdev/tdfxfb.c:1482:17: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] (PAGE_MASK << 1); ^~ drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'serial8250_request_rsa_resource': drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:350:38: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] unsigned long start = UART_RSA_BASE << up->port.regshift; ^~ drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'serial8250_release_rsa_resource': drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:371:39: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] unsigned long offset = UART_RSA_BASE << up->port.regshift; ^~ drivers/clk/mvebu/dove-divider.c: In function 'dove_set_clock': drivers/clk/mvebu/dove-divider.c:145:14: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] mask = ~(~0 << dc->div_bit_size) << dc->div_bit_start; ^~ drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c: In function 'dcbp_set_pad_bits': drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c:1098:37: error: left shift of negative value [-Werror=shift-negative-value] p->encoding = (p->encoding & (~0x7 << 4)) | (n << 4); Disable these conditionally to keep the command line a little shorter.
