<content type='text'>
The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.

Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.

There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.

Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

<title>kbuild: remove GCC's default -Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 4a5838ad9d2d ("kbuild: Add extra gcc checks") added the
-Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag, but there is no need to add it
explicitly.

GCC manual says:
  "This warning is enabled by default. Use -Wno-packed-bitfield-compat
   to disable this warning."

The test code in the manual:

  struct foo
  {
    char a:4;
    char b:8;
  } __attribute__ ((packed));

... emits "note: offset of packed bit-field ‘b’ has changed in GCC 4.4"
without W=3.

Let's remove it, as it is a default with GCC.

Clang does not support this flag, so its removal will not affect Clang
builds.

<title>kbuild: Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1</title>

<id>urn:sha1:75b5ab134bb5f657ef7979a59106dce0657e8d87</id>
<content type='text'>
Clang enables -Wenum-enum-conversion and -Wenum-compare-conditional
under -Wenum-conversion. A recent change in Clang strengthened these
warnings and they appear frequently in common builds, primarily due to
several instances in common headers but there are quite a few drivers
that have individual instances as well.

  include/linux/vmstat.h:508:43: warning: arithmetic between different enumeration types ('enum zone_stat_item' and 'enum numa_stat_item') [-Wenum-enum-conversion]

Doing arithmetic between or returning two different types of enums could
be a bug, so each of the instance of the warning needs to be evaluated.
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are many instances of this
warning in many different configurations, which can break the build when
CONFIG_WERROR is enabled.

To avoid introducing new instances of the warnings while cleaning up the
disruption for the majority of users, disable these warnings for the
default build while leaving them on for W=1 builds.

It seems that we have finished addressing all the remaining
issues regarding -Wstringop-overflow. So, we are now in good
shape to enable this compiler option globally.

Over the years we went from &gt; 1000 of warnings to under 100 earlier this
year, and I sent patches to address all the ones that I saw with compile
testing randcom configs on arm64, arm and x86 kernels.  This is a really
useful warning, as it catches real bugs when there are mismatched
prototypes.  In particular with kernel control flow integrity enabled,
those are no longer allowed.

I have done extensive testing to ensure that there are no new build errors
or warnings on any configuration of x86, arm and arm64 builds.  I also
made sure that at least both the normal defconfig and an allmodconfig
build is clean for arc, csky, loongarch, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, and xtensa, with the respective maintainers
doing most of the patches.

At this point, there are five architectures with a number of known
regressions: alpha, nios2, mips, sh and sparc.  In the previous version of
this patch, I had turned off the missing prototype warnings for the 15
architectures that still had issues, but since there are only five left, I
think we can leave the rest to the maintainers (Cc'd here) as well.

KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS=1 and KCONFIG_WERROR=1 are descriptive
and suitable in scripting, but typing them from the command line can
be tedious.

Associate them with KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN (and the W= shorthand).

Support a new letter 'c' to enable extra checks in Kconfig. You can
still manage compiler warnings (W=1) and Kconfig warnings (W=c)
independently.

Reuse the letter 'e' to turn Kconfig warnings into errors.

As usual, you can combine multiple letters in KCONFIG_EXTRA_WARN.

  $ KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS=1 KCONFIG_WERROR=1 make defconfig

can be shortened to:

  $ KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=ce make defconfig

or, even shorter:

  $ make W=ce defconfig

The stringop and format warnings got disabled globally when they were
newly introduced in commit bd664f6b3e376 ("disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings
for now"), 217c3e0196758 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
and 5a76021c2eff7 ("gcc-10: disable 'stringop-overflow' warning for now").

In all cases, the sentiment at the time was that the warnings are
useful, and we actually addressed a number of real bugs based on
them, but we never managed to eliminate them all because even the
build bots using W=1 builds only see the -Wstringop-truncation
warnings that are enabled at that level.

Move these into the W=1 section to give them a larger build coverage
and actually eliminate them over time.

Some warning options are disabled at one place and then conditionally
re-enabled later in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.

For consistency, rework this file so each of those warnings only
gets etiher enabled or disabled based on the W= flags but not both.
