This pull results in new warnings.
I get new "may be uninitialized" warnings now for me allmodconfig build, and while I didn't look at them all, the one I looked at was just entirely crap:
fs/gfs2/dir.c: In function ‘dir_split_leaf.isra.16’: fs/gfs2/dir.c:1021:8: warning: ‘leaf_no’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] error = get_leaf(dip, leaf_no, &obh); ^
yeah no, leaf_no is initialized a few lines up by
error = get_leaf_nr(dip, index, &leaf_no);
and the fact that gcc can't follow the trivial error handling is not our fault. It looks *so* trivial that I wonder why.
That said, I don't see exactly what in the pull request causes this.
My reading of the diff seems to say that you are actually adding *more* cases of -Wno-maybe-uninitialized, not less.
So I suspect it's almost accidental in just how the Kconfig option CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE happened, which in turn probably just changes the options for "make allmiodconfig", and it now picks a non-size-optimized build that always showed those warnings and I just didn't see them.
Annoying. I've pulled it, but I wish you would look at this.
