Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf build: Add -Wno-missing-declarations for GEN_VMLINUX_H=1
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 22:52:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408055259.374744-2-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408055259.374744-1-namhyung@kernel.org>

On my system, `make GEN_VMLINUX_H=1` fails with a lot of error messages
like below:

  ./util/bpf_skel/vmlinux.h:134488:4: error: declaration does not declare anything [-Werror,-Wmissing-declarations]
   134488 |                         struct freelist_counters;
          |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make[2]: *** [Makefile.perf:1249: linux/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/lock_contention.bpf.o] Error 1

It seems clang doesn't like forward declarations in the current setting.
Let's suppress the warning by adding the no warning flags.
