I'd like to combine the two git-log. The git-log of the squashed one will be like follows. If you want to edit it more, please let me know. Thanks! ---------------------------------------->8------------------------------------- build: use cc-disable-warning consistently for maybe-uninitialized In commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1""), I reverted another change that happened to fix a problem with old compilers, and now we get this report again with old compilers (prior to gcc-4.8) and GCOV enabled: cc1: warnings being treated as errors drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c: In function 'intel_ring_setup_status_page': drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c:438: error: 'mmio.reg' may be used uninitialized in this function At top level: >> cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized" The problem is that we turn off the warning conditionally in a number of places as we should, but one of them does it unconditionally. Instead, change it to call cc-disable-warning as we do elsewhere. The original patch that caused it was merged into linux-4.7, then 4.8 removed the change and 4.9 brought it back, so we probably want a backport to 4.9 once this is merged. Use a ':=' assignment instead of '=' to force the cc-disable-warning call to only be evaluated once instead of every time.
