   3 Subject: [PATCH] disable -Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
   4
   5 gcc-8 warns for every single definition of a system call entry
   6 point, e.g.:
   7
   8 include/linux/compat.h:56:18: error: 'compat_sys_rt_sigprocmask' alias between functions of incompatible types 'long int(int,  compat_sigset_t *, compat_sigset_t *, compat_size_t)' {aka 'long int(int,  struct <anonymous> *, struct <anonymous> *, unsigned int)'} and 'long int(long int,  long int,  long int,  long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias]
   9   asmlinkage long compat_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__))\

  21 The new warning seems reasonable in principle, but it doesn't
  22 help us here, since we rely on the type mismatch to sanitize the
  23 system call arguments. After I reported this as GCC PR82435, a new
  24 -Wno-attribute-alias option was added that could be used to turn the
  25 warning off globally on the command line, but I'd prefer to do it a
  26 little more fine-grained.
  27
  28 Interestingly, turning a warning off and on again inside of
  29 a single macro doesn't always work, in this case I had to add
  30 an extra statement inbetween and decided to copy the __SC_TEST
  31 one from the native syscall to the compat syscall macro.  See
  32 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83256 for more details
  33 about this.
  34
  35 [paul.burton@mips.com:
  36   - Rebase atop current master.
  37   - Split GCC & version arguments to __diag_ignore() in order to match
  38     changes to the preceding patch.
  39   - Add the comment argument to match the preceding patch.]
