I'm not a fan of covering up those warnings via -Qunused-arguments; the flags should be feature detected via cc-option and friends rather than always added then silenced if excessive. That hides flags that are long dead/unused. Thanks for this patch!

When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks -Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of noisy warnings. Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> --- Not sure why -Qunused-arguments is in CPP instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS. We could instead put it in KBUILD_CFLAGS, and not need this patch. scripts/Makefile.build | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
