I am impressed by the very informative commit-log. But... I still miss relevant infos in the "kbuild-docs" aka in <Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst file> I also was not aware I can combine W=... settings like W=123 (W=132 and W=321 does the same I guess). In my little world W=3 should include W=1 and W=2. Such informations I would like to have in kbuild-docs. BTW, I mixed up kbuild-system with kconfig-system as I normally get in touch with the 2nd. Renaming the kbuild-variable is up to you. I am OK when you want to wait for Arnd's rework of extrawarn compiler options. I did change it in one of my patches treewide. - Sedat -
