I made the mistake of upgrading my desktop to the new Fedora 26 that comes with gcc-7.1.1. There's nothing wrong per se that I've noticed, but I now have 1500 lines of warnings, mostly from the new format-truncation warning triggering all over the tree. We use 'snprintf()' and friends in a lot of places, and often know that the numbers are fairly small (ie a controller index or similar), but gcc doesn't know that, and sees an 'int', and thinks that it could be some huge number. And then complains when our buffers are not able to fit the name for the ten millionth controller. These warnings aren't necessarily bad per se, and we probably want to look through them subsystem by subsystem, but at least during the merge window they just mean that I can't even see if somebody is introducing any *real* problems when I pull. So warnings disabled for now. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
