This one is interesting: the same header dependency seems to be present for samples/bpf, but only samples/seccomp fails. Can you check if both are attempted to be built?

samples/bpf/README.rst says about this:

|Kernel headers |-------------- | |There are usually dependencies to header files of the current kernel. |To avoid installing devel kernel headers system wide, as a normal |user, simply call:: | | make headers_install | |This will creates a local "usr/include" directory in the git/build top |level directory, that the make system automatically pickup first.

which I assume would fix the problem, but it would be better if Kbuild was smart enough to do this implicitly when building these samples.

    powerpc.pasemi_defconfig:

I don't see a good way to avoid the warning other than dropping the

BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct thread_fp_state, fpscr) != offsetof(struct thread_fp_state, fpr[32][0]));

statements in the powerpc ptrace implementation. It doesn't seem too important to check for though.

Warnings:

I had not seen this before, sent a patch now.

  3 drivers/pinctrl/stm32/pinctrl-stm32.c:797:17: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]

sent a fix yesterday, got an ack but it wasn't applied yet. I'm sure Linus Walleij will take care of it soon.

  6 mm/page_alloc.c:3651:6: warning: 'compact_result' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

I'm surprised this one is still there, I sent a patch but Michal Hocko came up with a better fix on May 12, which was not applied yet.

Michael, can you resend this one to Andrew? I suspect he missed it as it was sent as a reply to mine.

  2 drivers/xen/balloon.c:154:13: warning: 'release_memory_resource' declared 'static' but never defined [-Wunused-function]

I sent a patch on May 11, subject "xen: remove incorrect forward declaration" and Stefano Stabellini reviewed it. Ross Lagerwall did the same patch a day earlier, but neither of them has made it into linux-next so far. According to Ross, this one should be backported to v4.4.

  3 fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c:97:16: warning: unused variable 'blockmask' [-Wunused-variable]

I sent a patch on April 16, but got no reply. Resending it now.

  2 arch/arm/mach-lpc32xx/include/mach/irqs.h:115:0: warning: "NR_IRQS" redefined

I missed this one, as I have some other patches for lp32xx in my randconfig fixup tree that hides it.

I've created a fix now and applied it to the arm-soc fixes branch.

I sent out a patch on May 12 for this, got no reply. I've applied my own patch now on the arm-soc fixes branch.

  1 drivers/phy/phy-exynos-mipi-video.c:238:13: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

I sent a patch on May 11, it was reviewed by Krzysztof Kozlowski, but not yet applied.

I sent a patch on May 12, but it hasn't appeared in linux-next yet.

  1 drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:1253:12: warning: 'src_addr_storage.sin_addr.s_addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This seems to only happen on powerpc. What compiler version are you using there? If it's an older compiler, we might not necessarily care about the warnings but you may want to upgrade.

I've confirmed that this is a false positive, but I see how older gcc versions would get confused about this.

  1 include/sound/control.h:219:9: warning: 'master_vol' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

sound/ppc/awacs.c:886:23: note: 'master_vol' was declared here struct snd_kcontrol *master_vol, *speaker_vol;

This seemed to be a valid bug at first sight, but it probably falls in the same category as the infiniband one, it's really a false positive. This is the Power Macintosh sound driver.

  7 include/linux/kernel.h:748:17: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

This is also powerpc specific it seems, the full message is

/home/build/work/batch/mm/cma.c: In function 'cma_declare_contiguous': /home/build/work/batch/include/linux/kernel.h:748:17: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast (void) (&_max1 == &_max2); \ ^ /home/build/work/batch/include/linux/kernel.h:747:9: note: in definition of macro 'max' typeof(y) _max2 = (y); \ ^ /home/build/work/batch/mm/cma.c:270:29: note: in expansion of macro 'max' (phys_addr_t)PAGE_SIZE << max(MAX_ORDER - 1, pageblock_order)); ^~~

Probably straightforward to fix, but I haven't looked closely.

  1 drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7606_spi.c:24:18: warning: 'data' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

  1 fs/reiserfs/ibalance.c:1156:2: warning: 'new_insert_key' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

These are all warnings that we only get for arm64, and I think they are all false positives on older gcc versions.
