This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Makefile: Move -Wno-unused-but-set-variable out of GCC only block to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: makefile-move-wno-unused-but-set-variable-out-of-gcc-only-block.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 885480b084696331bea61a4f7eba10652999a9c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2021 18:23:50 -0700 Subject: Makefile: Move -Wno-unused-but-set-variable out of GCC only block From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 885480b084696331bea61a4f7eba10652999a9c1 upstream. Currently, -Wunused-but-set-variable is only supported by GCC so it is disabled unconditionally in a GCC only block (it is enabled with W=1). clang currently has its implementation for this warning in review so preemptively move this statement out of the GCC only block and wrap it with cc-disable-warning so that both compilers function the same.
