The patch titled Subject: thread_info: move function declarations to linux/thread_info.h has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is thread_info-move-function-declarations-to-linux-thread_infoh.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/thread_info-move-function-declarations-to-linux-thread_infoh.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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 via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Subject: thread_info: move function declarations to linux/thread_info.h Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 15:11:01 +0200 There are a few __weak functions in kernel/fork.c, which architectures can override. If there is no prototype, the compiler warns about them: kernel/fork.c:164:13: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_release_task_struct' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] kernel/fork.c:991:20: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_task_cache_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] kernel/fork.c:1086:12: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_dup_task_struct' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] There are already prototypes in a number of architecture specific headers that have addressed those warnings before, but it's much better to have these in a single place so the warning no longer shows up anywhere.
