Subject: asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype
This series of patches splits BUILD_BUG related macros out of
"include/linux/bug.h" into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" (patch 5),
and changes the pointer type checking in the `container_of()` macro to
deal with pointers of array type better (patch 6). Patches 1 to 4 are
prerequisites.
Patches 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been inserted since the previous version of
this patch series. Patch 6 here corresponds to v3 and v4's patch 2.
Patch 1 was a prerequisite in v3 of this series to avoid a lot of warnings
when <linux/bug.h> was included by <linux/kernel.h>. That is no longer
relevant for v5 of the series, but I left it in because it was acked by a
Arnd Bergmann and Michal Nazarewicz.
Patches 2, 3, and 4 are some checkpatch clean-ups on "include/linux/bug.h"
before splitting out the BUILD_BUG stuff in patch 5.
Patch 5 splits the BUILD_BUG related macros out of "include/linux/bug.h"
into new file "include/linux/build_bug.h" because including <linux/bug.h>
in "include/linux/kernel.h" would result in build failures due to circular
dependencies.
Patch 6 changes the pointer type checking by `container_of()` to avoid
some incompatible pointer warnings when the dereferenced pointer has array
type.
1) asm-generic/bug.h: declare struct pt_regs; before function prototype
2) linux/bug.h: correct formatting of block comment
3) linux/bug.h: correct "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)"
4) linux/bug.h: correct "space required before that '-'"
5) bug: split BUILD_BUG stuff out into <linux/build_bug.h>
6) kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()
This patch (of 6):
The declaration of `__warn()` has `struct pt_regs *regs` as one of its
parameters. This can result in compiler warnings if `struct regs` is not
already declared. Add an empty declaration of `struct pt_regs` to avoid
the warnings.
