The latest release of sparse have been pushed to the official
repository. It's a smaller release than the previous one but
it contains some important to not be flooded by unimportant
warnings while compiling the kernel.
The most notable changes are:
- better tracking and handling of expression constness
- fix bug with variadic macros
- less warnings on unknown attributes (none by default now)
- teach sparse about __builtin_{isinf_sign,isfinite,isnan}
- various update to the documentation
- do selfcheck with the locally built sparse
- some fixes or improvements for build (armhf, GNU/kfreebsd, ...)
- also evaluate files included via -include
Many thanks to everyone involved.
