Subject: [PATCH] gcc-plugins: Remove SANCOV plugin
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 09:02:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409160251.work.914-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
There are very few users of this plugin[1], and since it's features
are available in GCC 6 and later (and Clang), users can update their
compilers if they need support on newer kernels.
Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
