[PATCH v2 0/4] kbuild: Per arch/platform dtc warning levels

[Rob Herring]

This series adds support to set the dtc extra warning level on a per 
arch or per platform (directory really) basis.

The first version of this was just a simple per directory override for 
Samsung platforms, but Conor asked to be able to do this for all of 
riscv.

For merging, either I can take the whole thing or the riscv and samsung 
patches can go via their normal trees. The added variable will have no 
effect until merged with patch 2.

[PATCH v2 1/4] kbuild: Move dtc graph_child_address warning to W=2

[Rob Herring]

There are cases where having a single child node with a unit-address is
valid. For example, other child nodes may be optional or added via a
DT overlay. This hasn't mattered until now, but as platforms become
free of W=1 warnings, we want to enable W=1 by default on a per
platform basis. So move the warning to W=2.

In the process, the logic can be reworked a bit to avoid specifying a
given warning in multiple places.

[PATCH v2 2/4] kbuild: Allow arch/platform override of dtc warning level

[Rob Herring]

In order to allow enabling extra dtc warnings on a per arch or platform
basis, define a new variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN_DTC, which contains the
warning level and can be set by an arch or platform independently of
KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN. The default value is KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN as before.

The platform setting and command line setting are merged. For example,
with a platform that defaults to W=1, one can run 'make W=2 dtbs' which
will enable both level 1 and 2 warnings.

[PATCH v2 3/4] riscv: dts: Always enable extra W=1 warnings

[Rob Herring]

As all RISC-V .dts files are W=1 clean, enable the W=1 warnings all the

[PATCH v2 4/4] arm/arm64: dts: samsung: Always enable extra W=1 warnings

[Rob Herring]

Samsung platforms are clean of W=1 dtc warnings, so enable the warnings
by default. This way submitters don't have to remember to run a W=1
build of the .dts files and the grumpiness of the maintainers can be
reduced.

There were some attempts in the past to enable W=1 in particular subsystems,
so here is a similar comment.

Adding a new warning flag to W=1 is always safe without doing any compile test.

With this series, it would not be true any more because a new warning in W=1
would potentially break riscv/samsung platforms.

Linus requires a clean build (i.e. zero warning) when W= option is not given.

We carry a copy of the dtc in scripts/dtc, so I would expect that before
an upgrade is done that would introduce new warnings we can fix them in
the relevant platforms. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something there,
but I'm sure Rob can clear it up if I made a mistake.

> Linus requires a clean build (i.e. zero warning) when W= option is not given.

For RISC-V at least, there are currently no W=1 warnings while building
the dtbs (because I put effort into fixing them all) and I would like to
keep it that way, so that requirement is not a concern.

Cheers,
Conor.

It might be easy to fix up only riscv and samsung platforms.

If more and more platforms add KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=1 in their Makefiles,
it will become harder to sort them out before adding a new warning flag.


The sync of scripts/dtc will be delayed until then, or
you will end up with demoting them (i.e. delete KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=1).

The difference here is the people potentially adding warnings are also
the ones ensuring no warnings.

Linus doesn't build any of this AFAICT. We are not always warning free
for W=0 with dtbs.

No, Linus might not care, but others (me) do. The whole point of not
allowing warnings is the same. Get to zero warnings so any new
warnings stand out. We now have some subset of platforms which are
warning free and want warnings enabled by default to keep them that
way. How do you suggest we do that?

I understand your point on W=1 in general, but I think it just doesn't
apply in this case. In general,
someone may be testing a new compiler and there's some new warning to
enable, so they add it to W=1. They are working independently of any
subsystem (and Linus) and introducing new warnings would be a burden
to fix and a problem to leave. For DT, it is a bit different as adding
new warnings, updating dtc version, and selecting warnings to enable
are pretty much all done together. Plus, schema warnings have pretty
much superseded dtc warnings. If we do add new warnings which can't be
fixed up front, then we could still only enable the warning for W=1
from the command line. Something like this on top of this series:

You may not like it, but an alternative solution could be,
hard-code extra warning flags.


In my compile-tests, Samsung platform is not W=1 clean yet.
I see -Wunit_address_vs_reg, -Wsimple_bus_reg,
-Wunique_unit_address_if_enabled warnings.

I do not see anything else, so you can add the following three
flags to keep it warning-free.






diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/samsung/Makefile
