Hi-
Building on RHEL 9.6, I encountered this build failure:
arch/x86/kernel/smp.o: warning: objtool: fred_sysvec_reboot()+0x52: unreachable instruction drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_msg.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_out()+0xbf: stack state mismatch: cfa1=5+16 cfa2=4+8 drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_msg.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in()+0xb4: stack state mismatch: cfa1=5+16 cfa2=4+8 drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c: In function ‘vfio_pin_pages_remote’: drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c:707:25: error: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Werror=declaration-after-statement] 707 | long req_pages = min_t(long, npage, batch->capacity); | ^~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors gmake[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:289: drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:552: drivers/vfio] Error 2 gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gmake: *** [Makefile:1926: drivers] Error 2
Appears to be due to:
commit 5c87f3aff907e72fa6759c9dc66eb609dec1815c
I've dropped this, thanks for the report.
It's a bit funny - my version of gcc treats it as a warning, and it actually gives me quite a few mote "mixed decrlataions" warnings in the 5.15 allmodconfig build.
Compilers are hard :)
Additional context: I copied the RHEL 9.6 /boot/config to do the build. I think Red Hat likes to keep the "treat warnings as errors" setting enabled in their builds.
It's a good warning to have, 'allmodconfig' enables it, and so my builds show these as failures too, so you aren't alone.
thanks for pointing it out.
