commit 8f6629c004b193d23612641c3607e785819e97ab upstream.
-Wenum-enum-conversion was strengthened in clang-19 to warn for C, which
caused the kernel to move it to W=1 in commit 75b5ab134bb5 ("kbuild:
Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1") because
there were numerous instances that would break builds with -Werror.
Unfortunately, this is not a full solution, as more and more developers,
subsystems, and distributors are building with W=1 as well, so they
continue to see the numerous instances of this warning.
Since the move to W=1, there have not been many new instances that have
appeared through various build reports and the ones that have appeared
seem to be following similar existing patterns, suggesting that most
instances of this warning will not be real issues. The only alternatives
for silencing this warning are adding casts (which is generally seen as
an ugly practice) or refactoring the enums to macro defines or a unified
enum (which may be undesirable because of type safety in other parts of
the code).
Move the warning to W=2, where warnings that occur frequently but may be
relevant should reside.

[ Upstream commit 75b5ab134bb5f657ef7979a59106dce0657e8d87 ]
Clang enables -Wenum-enum-conversion and -Wenum-compare-conditional
under -Wenum-conversion. A recent change in Clang strengthened these
warnings and they appear frequently in common builds, primarily due to
several instances in common headers but there are quite a few drivers
that have individual instances as well.

Doing arithmetic between or returning two different types of enums could
be a bug, so each of the instance of the warning needs to be evaluated.
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there are many instances of this
warning in many different configurations, which can break the build when
CONFIG_WERROR is enabled.
To avoid introducing new instances of the warnings while cleaning up the
disruption for the majority of users, disable these warnings for the
default build while leaving them on for W=1 builds.

commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream. We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable -Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have been addressed.

commit 1cf5f151d25fcca94689efd91afa0253621fb33a upstream. -Wunaligned-access is a new warning in clang that is default enabled for arm and arm64 under certain circumstances within the clang frontend (see LLVM commit below). On v5.17-rc2, an ARCH=arm allmodconfig build shows 1284 total/70 unique instances of this warning (most of the instances are in header files), which is quite noisy. To keep a normal build green through CONFIG_WERROR, only show this warning with W=1, which will allow automated build systems to catch new instances of the warning so that the total number can be driven down to zero eventually since catching unaligned accesses at compile time would be generally useful.

The -Wnested-externs warning has become useless with gcc, since this warns every time that BUILD_BUG_ON() or similar macros are used. With clang, the warning option does nothing to start with, so just remove it entirely.

This warning behaves differently depending on the architecture and compiler. Using x86 gcc, we get no output at all because gcc knows the architecture can handle unaligned accesses. Using x86 clang, or gcc on an architecture that needs to manually deal with unaligned accesses, the build log is completely flooded with these warnings, as they are commonly invoked by inline functions of networking headers, e.g. include/linux/skbuff.h:1426:26: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align] The compiler is correct to point this out, as we are dealing with undefined behavior that does cause problems in practice, but there is also no good way to rewrite the code in commonly included headers to a safer method.

This -Wsign-compare compiler warning can be very noisy and most of the suggested conversions are unnecessary. Make the warning W=3 so it's described under the "can most likely be ignored" block. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
-Wtype-limits is included in -Wextra which is added at W=1. It warns (among other things) that 'comparison of an unsigned variable `< 0` is always false. This causes noisy warnings, especially when used in macros, hence it is more suitable for W=2.

Currently, we disable -Wtautological-compare, which in turn disables a bunch of more specific tautological comparison warnings that are useful for the kernel such as -Wtautological-bitwise-compare. See clang's documentation below for the other warnings that are suppressed by -Wtautological-compare. Now that all of the major/noisy warnings have been fixed, enable -Wtautological-compare so that more issues can be caught at build time by various continuous integration setups. -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare is kept disabled under a normal build but visible at W=1 because there are places in the kernel where a constant or variable size can change based on the kernel configuration. These are not fixed in a clean/concise way and the ones I have audited so far appear to be harmless. It is not a subgroup but rather just one warning so we do not lose out on much coverage by default.

Clang's -Wpointer-to-int-cast deviates from GCC in that it warns when casting to enums. The kernel does this in certain places, such as device tree matches to set the version of the device being used, which allows the kernel to avoid using a gigantic union. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/drivers/ata/ahci_brcm.c#L428 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/drivers/ata/ahci_brcm.c#L402 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.8/source/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h#L264 To avoid a ton of false positive warnings, disable this particular part of the warning, which has been split off into a separate diagnostic so that the entire warning does not need to be turned off for clang. It will be visible under W=1 in case people want to go about fixing these easily and enabling the warning treewide.
