The patch titled Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was eliminate-thousands-of-warnings-with-gcc-32-build.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build From: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype': include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in #define __WARN() warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL) Split this case out into a separate call. This also shrinks the kernel slightly: text data bss dec hex filename 4802274 707668 712704 6222646 5ef336 vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 4799027 703572 712704 6215303 5ed687 vmlinux due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().
