Thanks. > Can I have your SoB for this? I'm not sure this actually works as there's some possible sparse parsing changes in the use of __context__. There is a difference in linux compilation of a defconfig output with sparse output of init/ with the new parse.c old: $ make clean ; make C=1 init > old 2>&1 (recompile sparse with changes above) new: $ make clean ; make C=1 init > new 2>&1 $ diff -urN old new --- old 2019-10-28 15:20:00.524678375 -0700 +++ new 2019-10-28 15:21:14.004674721 -0700 @@ -55,7 +55,25 @@ CHK include/generated/compile.h CHECK init/main.c init/main.c:173:12: warning: symbol 'envp_init' was not declared.
