I've gone through all these now and found a fix. In three cases, there is no
fix yet since the respective drivers got removed before the warning was
noticed. Do we have a policy for how to deal with those? Should I just
send patches to address the warnings for 3.18?

This is a result of a newer compiler version, combined with the -Werror
flag that is applied to arch/mips/, and two of the mips defconfigs overriding
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN to 1024 on a 64-bit architecture (probably by
accident).

I saw this also when I looked at the 3.16 warnings, but only now actually
bisected it. The fix is

86038c5ea81b ("perf: Avoid horrible stack usage")

The driver is obsolete and was removed in v4.2. It looks like the warning
should still be there in v4.1.y, but I don't remember having seen it. It
would be trivial to fix this with an obvious patch adding a cast.

Similarly, the driver was removed in v3.19, but I could create a patch for
the warning.

The driver was properly converted in v4.2 and the warning removed, but the
conversion would be outside of stable-kernel-rules.

I've send this fix:

We had an incorrect backport of
4591243102fa ("clk: at91: usb: propagate rate modification to the parent clk")
that was fixed incorrectly in linux-3.18.y by
76723e7ed589 ("clk: at91: usb: fix determine_rate prototype")

This should fix it properly.

This is caused by the backport of f01d35a15fa0416 from 4.0 to 3.18:
c81fc59be42c6e0 gadgetfs: use-after-free in ->aio_read()

The backported patch was buggy, but the mainline code was
rewritten in a larger patch directly following this one in a way that
fixed the bug.

For stable, we should need only a one-line change, which I sent now:

I've bisected this to
be0c37c985ed ("MIPS: Rearrange PTE bits into fixed positions.")
which accidentally shuts up the warning, but does not apply to
3.18, and is not appropriate for a stable backport.

The code is correct, so we can probably just add an initialization
for the variable. Patch sent.

    [3.18-stable regression] ARM: psci: fix header file

    Commit be95485a0b828 was incorrectly backported to 3.18 and
    now causes a different build error when CONFIG_SMP is disabled:

     arch/arm/kernel/psci.c:287:12: error: redefinition of 'psci_init'

    This version is how it should be on 3.18, with the main psci
    code built for both SMP and UP, but the psci_smp_available()
    function only being available for SMP builds.

I'm wondering how good an idea it is to leave -Werror on in stable
kernels given that they're very likely to get used with newer compilers
at some point.  But then I've never been a fan of -Werror in the first
place.

I agree it's problematic as you never know what future compilers will warn
about. At the moment, alpha, mips, sh and sparc turn on -Werror
unconditionally for architecture specific code and there are only five
device drivers do this as well. The powerpc architecture and the i915
driver have a Kconfig option to control whether the warnings are enabled,
and they are turned off in allmodconfig.

I think this is just an artifact from the old days when we always had tons of
warnings in a given build, but we should try to replace it with something
better instead of just removing it (which would be easy enough to do).

I personally build with 'make CC="gcc -Werror" and fix all the warnings I
run into. I have some plans to improve it by hooking into the
scripts/Makefile.extrawarn infrastructure. Today, we can use "make W=1"
or "make W=12" to turn on extra levels of warnings, and I'd like to
add "make E=0" or "make E=012" as a way to turn on errors for
the default (0) or higher (1, 2, 3) levels, but this takes a little more
preparation.

I've wondered about this, and yeah, I would like to see the number drop
to 0 if at all possible (the scsi driver will not change), so i'll be
glad to take patches for the code that is no longer in upstream.

Yeah, this one is going to have to stay as-is :(

Ugh, I don't know why this one wasn't in 3.18, that makes me wonder what
I missed that went into 4.4 that didn't make it to 3.18...

That was in 3.17, are you sure you are looking at 3.18 like the subject

Ok, I'll have a go at this after the build report.

How about just shutting up the #warning then, based on the argument that
the warning isn't helping anyone fix it, and all the other drivers that had not
been converted at the time don't come with a #warning?

Very odd, my search was definitely going wrong there. The file that
we get the warning for was last changed in 3.6, so I accidentally looked
at ancient changes.

Upon a closer look it looks like the problem is the 'cpumask_empty()'
helper function getting uninlined with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING,
but I cannot see why the warning is gone in later kernels. I'll probably
have to bisect it.

Ok. To clarify, I was taking note of the fact this 3.16 needs it since this
is the most frequent warning I still see on Ben's 3.16.y tree, and the
last time I went through the 3.16 build report, I did not succeed in finding
this (without bisecting).

For most of the changes, I tried looking at 'git log v3.18..stable/linux-4.4.y'
and immediately found the obvious fix. If that didn't help, I tried a few other
things, but I usually did not look in 3.18.y to see if it was already there
if I found something at first that looked obviously right.

This is another case where I confused the patch that introduced the
warning with the one that fixed it. This one requires a another patch that
got merged into 3.20:

be5136988e25 ("MIPS: asm: compiler: Add new macros to set ISA and arch
asm annotations")

It's a copy-paste mistake, missing the first digits of the commit ID,
I found the correct one now:

Another similar mistake on my end, 2ae83bf93882 introduced the problem,
the fix we need was

97c7134ae22f ("Fix signed/unsigned pointer warning")

Yes, I'll take a patch for that, especially as the driver is now fixed
in newer kernels.

There was no "3.20", it was "4.0" :)

This doesn't apply to the 3.18-stable tree, and I don't know ARM
assembly good enough to backport it properly.  Any hints?

Thanks so much for the list, I think I'm all caught up now, hopefully
the next release will have almost no warnings.
