An experimental patch series of mine reworks how warnings are processed in Kbuild. A side effect is a new warning about a harmless aliasing rule violation in an inline function: In file included from include/linux/rhashtable-types.h:15:0, from include/linux/ipc.h:7, from include/uapi/linux/sem.h:5, from include/linux/sem.h:5, from include/linux/sched.h:15, from include/linux/uaccess.h:6, from arch/parisc/boot/compressed/misc.c:7: include/linux/workqueue.h: In function 'work_static': include/linux/workqueue.h:212:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] return *work_data_bits(work) & WORK_STRUCT_STATIC; Make the decompressor use -fno-strict-aliasing like the rest of the kernel for consistency, and to ensure this warning never makes it into a release.
