I have made code changes for the above warning. Actually I am still unable to reproduce the compilation warning. But I believe the following code fix will fix the compilation warning: In file lib/test_bitmap.c @@ -692,7 +692,7 @@ struct clump_test_data_params { unsigned long const *exp; }; -struct clump_test_data_params clump_test_data[] = +static struct clump_test_data_params clump_test_data[] __initdata = { {{0}, 2, 0, 64, 8, clump_exp1}, {{0}, 8, 2, 240, 24, clump_exp2}, {{0}, 8, 10, 240, 30, clump_exp3}, Let me know if I should submit a new patchset (v8) for 'for_each_set_clump' including above code fix. Just to share how I attempted to reproduce the warning (but unsuccessful): Step 1: Use the config file in attachment. Download, extract, rename file to .config at the root of the tree. Step 2: '$ make lib/' No warning reproduced after above step 2. Step 3: '$ make W=1 C=1 ARCH=x86_64 CF='-fdiagnostic-prefix -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__' lib/' After step 3 I got error in build: scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig CHECK scripts/mod/empty.c No such file: asan-globals=1 scripts/Makefile.build:266: recipe for target 'scripts/mod/empty.o' failed make[1]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1 Makefile:1147: recipe for target 'prepare0' failed make: *** [prepare0] Error 2 The command in above step 3 was mentioned in the bot mail.
