Subject: [PATCH v3.2] kbuild: implement several W= levels
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>
Building a kernel with "make W=1" produces far too much noise to be
useful.
Divide the warning options in three groups:
W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored
When building the whole kernel, those levels produce:
W=1 - 4859 warnings
W=2 - 1394 warnings
W=3 - 86666 warnings
respectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl
Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice
effect on the total number of warnings.
With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then.
Previously there was just too much noise.
Borislav:
- make the W= levels exclusive
- move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3
- drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message
- copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help'
- recount warnings per level
