From 9818af18db4bfefd320d0fef41390a616365e6f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 11:50:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] compiler_types: Move unused static inline functions warning to W=2 Per Nathan, clang catches unused "static inline" functions in C files since commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build"). Linus said: > So I entirely ignore W=1 issues, because I think so many of the extra > warnings are bogus. > > But if this one in particular is causing more problems than most - > some teams do seem to use W=1 as part of their test builds - it's fine > to send me a patch that just moves bad warnings to W=2. > > And if anybody uses W=2 for their test builds, that's THEIR problem.. Here is the change to bump the warning from W=1 to W=2.
