I have tested both patches against recent kbuild-next and can boot on
bare metal with clang.
I have *not* passed any W= to my make, but I see that clang's W=1
kbuild-cflags are active.
[ scripts/Makefile.extrawarn ]
ifeq ("$(origin W)", "command line")
export KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS := $(W)
endif
#
# W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
#
ifneq ($(findstring 1, $(KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS)),)
[ ... ]
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += -DKBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1
else
# W=1 also stops suppressing some warnings
ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wno-initializer-overrides
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wno-format
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wno-sign-compare
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wno-format-zero-length
endif # CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG
endif # KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS
These clang KBUILD_CFLAGS are active independently of passing W=1.
$ grep '\-Wno-initializer-overrides'
build-log_5.3.0-rc6-2-amd64-cbl-asmgoto.txt | wc -l
27195
So the above comment is misleading?
Is W=1 activated by default?
Or do I miss something?
[ Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst ]
KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS
------------------------------
If enabled over the make command line with "W=1", it turns on additional
gcc -W... options for more extensive build-time checking.
What about?
KBUILD_CC_EXTRA_CHECKS (or KBUILD_EXTRA_CC_CHECKS)
------------------------------
If enabled over the make command line with "W=...", it turns on additional
compiler warning options like -Wmissing-declarations for more extensive
build-time checking. For more details see <Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst>.
W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
W=1 - also stops suppressing some warnings
W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored
