<content type='text'>
commit 82f2bc2fcc0160d6f82dd1ac64518ae0a4dd183f upstream.

Clang's -Wpointer-to-int-cast deviates from GCC in that it warns when
casting to enums. The kernel does this in certain places, such as device
tree matches to set the version of the device being used, which allows
the kernel to avoid using a gigantic union.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/drivers/ata/ahci_brcm.c#L402
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h#L264

To avoid a ton of false positive warnings, disable this particular part
of the warning, which has been split off into a separate diagnostic so
that the entire warning does not need to be turned off for clang. It
will be visible under W=1 in case people want to go about fixing these
easily and enabling the warning treewide.

<title>kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6863f5643dd717376c2fdc85a47a00f9d738a834</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC and Clang have different policy for -Wunused-function; GCC does not
warn unused static inline functions at all whereas Clang does if they
are defined in source files instead of included headers although it has
been suppressed since commit abb2ea7dfd82 ("compiler, clang: suppress
warning for unused static inline functions").

We often miss to delete unused functions where 'static inline' is used
in *.c files since there is no tool to detect them. Unused code remains
until somebody notices. For example, commit 075ddd75680f ("regulator:
core: remove unused rdev_get_supply()").

Let's remove __maybe_unused from the inline macro to allow Clang to
start finding unused static inline functions. For now, we do this only
for W=1 build since it is not a good idea to sprinkle warnings for the
normal build (e.g. 35 warnings for arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig).

My initial attempt was to add -Wno-unused-function for no W= build
(https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1120594/)

Nathan Chancellor pointed out that would weaken Clang's checks since
we would no longer get -Wunused-function without W=1. It is true GCC
would catch unused static non-inline functions, but it would weaken
Clang as a standalone compiler, at least.

Hence, here is a counter implementation. The current problem is, W=...
only controls compiler flags, which are globally effective. There is
no way to address only 'static inline' functions.

This commit defines KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN[123] corresponding to W=[123].
When KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1 is defined, __maybe_unused is omitted from
the 'inline' macro.

The new macro __inline_maybe_unused makes the code a bit uglier, so I
hope we can remove it entirely after fixing most of the warnings.

If you contribute to code clean-up, please run "make CC=clang W=1"
and check -Wunused-function warnings. You will find lots of unused
functions.

Some of them are false-positives because the call-sites are disabled
by #ifdef. I do not like to abuse the inline keyword for suppressing
unused-function warnings because it is intended to be a hint for the
compiler optimization. I prefer #ifdef around the definition, or
__maybe_unused if #ifdef would make the code too ugly.

<title>kbuild: rename KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS to KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN</title>

<content type='text'>
KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning
options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it
also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc.

Rename it to more sensible, shorter KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN.

For the backward compatibility, KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is still
supported (but not advertised in the documentation).

I also fixed up 'make help', and updated the documentation.

<content type='text'>
Instead of the warning-[123] magic, let's accumulate compiler options
to KBUILD_CFLAGS directly as the top Makefile does. I think this makes
it easier to understand what is going on in this file.

This commit slightly changes the behavior, I think all of which are OK.

[1] Currently, cc-option calls are needlessly evaluated. For example,
      warning-3 += $(call cc-option, -Wpacked-bitfield-compat)
    needs evaluating only when W=3, but it is actually evaluated for
    W=1, W=2 as well. With this commit, only relevant cc-option calls
    will be evaluated. This is a slight optimization.

[2] Currently, unsupported level like W=4 is checked by:
      $(error W=$(KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS) is unknown)
    This will no longer be checked, but I do not think it is a big
    deal.

[3] Currently, 4 Clang warnings (Winitializer-overrides, Wformat,
    Wsign-compare, Wformat-zero-length) are shown by any of W=1, W=2,
    and W=3. With this commit, they will be warned only by W=1. I
    think this is a more correct behavior since each warning belongs
    to only one group.

For understanding this commit correctly:

We have 3 warning groups, W=1, W=2, and W=3. You may think W=3 has a
higher level than W=1, but they are actually independent. If you like,
you can combine them like W=13. To enable all the warnings, you can
pass W=123. It is shown by 'make help', but not noticed much. Since we
support W= combination, there should not exist intersection among the
three groups. If we enable Winitializer-overrides for W=1, we do not
need to for W=2 or W=3. This is the reason why I think the change [3]
makes sense.

The documentation says -Winitializer-overrides is enabled by default.
(https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#winitializer-overrides)
We negate it by passing -Wno-initializer-overrides for the normal
build, but we do not do that for W=1. This means, W=1 effectively
enables -Winitializer-overrides by the clang's default. The same for
the other three.

Add comments in case people are confused with the code.

This flag turns off several other warnings that would
be useful. Most notably -warn_unused_result is disabled.
All of the following warnings are currently disabled:

UnusedValue
|-UnusedComparison
  |-warn_unused_comparison
|-UnusedResult
  |-warn_unused_result
|-UnevaluatedExpression
  |-PotentiallyEvaluatedExpression
    |-warn_side_effects_typeid
  |-warn_side_effects_unevaluated_context
|-warn_unused_expr
|-warn_unused_voidptr
|-warn_unused_container_subscript_expr
|-warn_unused_call

With this flag removed there are ~10 warnings.
Patches have been submitted for each of these warnings.

This helps fine very dodgy behavior through both -Wuninitialized
(warning that a variable is always uninitialized) and
-Wsometimes-uninitialized (warning that a variable is sometimes
uninitialized, like GCC's -Wmaybe-uninitialized). These warnings
catch things that GCC doesn't such as:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/86649ee4-9794-77a3-502c-f4cd10019c36@lca.pw/

We very much want to catch these so turn this warning on so that CI is
aware of it.

<title>kbuild: Remove -Waggregate-return from scripts/Makefile.extrawarn</title>

<content type='text'>
It makes little sense to pass -Waggregate-return these days since large
part of the linux kernel rely on returning struct(s). For instance:

  ../include/linux/timekeeping.h: In function 'show_uptime':
  ../include/linux/ktime.h:91:34: error: function call has aggregate value [-Werror=aggregate-return]
   #define ktime_to_timespec64(kt)  ns_to_timespec64((kt))
                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ../include/linux/timekeeping.h:166:8: note: in expansion of macro 'ktime_to_timespec64'
    *ts = ktime_to_timespec64(ktime_get_coarse_boottime());

Remove this warning from W=2 completely.

We do not support old Clang versions. Upgrade your clang version
if any of these flags is unsupported.

Let's add all flags inside ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG unconditionally.
