Subject: sparse - make __CHECK_ENDIAN__ default enabled?
Hi Harvey.
Can I ask you to look into the worst offenders so we
can make -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ enabled per default
in the kernel.
Or maybe we should do it anyway?
I made a quick test-run with a x86 64 bit defconfig.
My first thought was that this was just really bad
because the amount of warnings roughly doubled.
But then inspecting it a little closer I could see
that 8 files had an increase of > 100 additional
warnings when we enabled __CHECK_ENDIAN__ and
that smells like easy targets to bring down the noise.
I did not dare do it for an allyesconfig run - I
am not that brave.
Comments?
Sam
