It's also great to see that you seem to have more time to spend on sparse right now. So trying to push my luck, here's the number 1 item on my "Christmas Wish List": a combination of -Werror and -Wno-warn-about-X options that would provides finer-grained and generally better control on the exit status and output. After maintaining sparse automation for many months, this is I think what would lower the CI adoption bar the most. So far we've been using a brittle script that captures the incredibly verbose and mostly unusable output (mostly due to some hard-to-fix warnings located in common .h files) and "post-processes" it with... "grep". https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/commit/b7708182fbe5d I'm curious how people typically automate runnning sparse on the Linux kernel. Does everyone "greps" logs too? Or is it more like `$(wc -l) == 0`?
