The patch titled Subject: fork: fix some -Wmissing-prototypes warnings has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fork-fix-some-wmissing-prototypes-warnings.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fork-fix-some-wmissing-prototypes-warnings.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/fork-fix-some-wmissing-prototypes-warnings.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Yi Wang <wang.yi59@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fork: fix some -Wmissing-prototypes warnings We get a warning when building kernel with W=1: kernel/fork.c:167:13: warning: no previous prototype for `arch_release_thread_stack' [-Wmissing-prototypes] kernel/fork.c:779:13: warning: no previous prototype for `fork_init' [-Wmissing-prototypes] Add the missing declaration in head file to fix this. Also, remove arch_release_thread_stack() completely because no arch seems to implement it since bb9d81264 (arch: remove tile port).
