Hi Stephen, The Compiler Attributes series has been stable for 10+ days. To increase testing before 4.20, I would to request it being picked up for -next. The changes w.r.t. v5 in the LKML: - Rebased on top of next-20180928, which required removing aligned_largest, which was removed by 9503cd9cbaba ("include/linux/compiler*.h: add version detection to asm_volatile_goto"). - Added latest Reviewed-by's and Tested-by's. Thanks! Cheers, Miguel The following changes since commit 4794a36bf08dfa89fe636e5080db9d8350e255dd: Add linux-next specific files for 20180928 (2018-09-28 15:26:51 +1000) are available in the Git repository at: https://github.com/ojeda/linux.git compiler-attributes for you to fetch changes up to dbce062c0b519db1cdad8d87ab46851f0be6bdea: Compiler Attributes: ext4: remove local __nonstring definition (2018-10-02 15:11:26 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Miguel Ojeda (15): Compiler Attributes: remove unused attributes Compiler Attributes: always use the extra-underscores syntax Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded tests Compiler Attributes: homogenize __must_be_array Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded sparse (__CHECKER__) tests Compiler Attributes: add missing SPDX ID in compiler_types.h Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks Compiler Attributes: KENTRY used twice the "used" attribute Compiler Attributes: remove uses of __attribute__ from compiler.h Compiler Attributes: add Doc/process/programming-language.rst Compiler Attributes: add MAINTAINERS entry Compiler Attributes: add support for __nonstring (gcc >= 8) Compiler Attributes: enable -Wstringop-truncation on W=1 (gcc >= 8) Compiler Attributes: auxdisplay: panel: use __nonstring Compiler Attributes: ext4: remove local __nonstring definition Documentation/process/index.rst | 1 + Documentation/process/programming-language.rst | 45 +++++ MAINTAINERS | 5 + drivers/auxdisplay/panel.c | 7 +- fs/ext4/ext4.h | 9 - include/linux/compiler-clang.h | 5 - include/linux/compiler-gcc.h | 70 +------ include/linux/compiler-intel.h | 9 - include/linux/compiler.h | 19 +- include/linux/compiler_attributes.h | 257 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/compiler_types.h | 100 ++-------- scripts/Makefile.extrawarn | 1 + 12 files changed, 340 insertions(+), 188 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/process/programming-language.rst create mode 100644 include/linux/compiler_attributes.h
