Description Florian Weimer 2023-05-03 12:14:58 UTC
tools/perf/util/Build b/tools/perf/util/Build enables implicit function declarations using -Wno-implicit-function-declaration, which likely will fail to have the desired effect with future GCC versions.

I've got a patch to fix this which I'm trying to upstream, but I have trouble posting it, and the perf upstream maintainer seems to have a non-mainline tree that happens to have semantic conflicts with my changes.

Reproducible: Always

I still hope to upstream this patch eventually, after rebasing it on top of the appropriate -next tree.

The maintainer receives my email messages, so vger dropping the patch should not be an issue.

New version, rebased on perf-next. Apparently still dropped by vger.kernel.org.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
