> The approach here is similar to what glibc uses, using __diag() and
> related macros to encapsulate a _Pragma("GCC diagnostic ...") statement
> that gets turned into the respective "#pragma GCC diagnostic ..." by
> the preprocessor when the macro gets expanded.
> 
> Like glibc, I also have an argument to pass the affected compiler
> version, but decided to actually evaluate that one. For now, this
> supports GCC_4_6, GCC_4_7, GCC_4_8, GCC_4_9, GCC_5, GCC_6, GCC_7,
> GCC_8 and GCC_9. Adding support for CLANG_5 and other interesting
> versions is straightforward here. GNU compilers starting with gcc-4.2
> could support it in principle, but "#pragma GCC diagnostic push"
> was only added in gcc-4.6, so it seems simpler to not deal with those
> at all. The same versions show a large number of warnings already,
> so it seems easier to just leave it at that and not do a more
> fine-grained control for them.
> 
> The use cases I found so far include:
> 
> - turning off the gcc-8 -Wattribute-alias warning inside of the
>    SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro without having to do it globally.
> 
> - Reducing the build time for a simple re-make after a change,
>    once we move the warnings from ./Makefile and
>    ./scripts/Makefile.extrawarn into linux/compiler.h
> 
> - More control over the warnings based on other configurations,
>    using preprocessor syntax instead of Makefile syntax. This should make
>    it easier for the average developer to understand and change things.
> 
> - Adding an easy way to turn the W=1 option on unconditionally
>    for a subdirectory or a specific file. This has been requested
>    by several developers in the past that want to have their subsystems
>    W=1 clean.
> 
> - Integrating clang better into the build systems. Clang supports
>    more warnings than GCC, and we probably want to classify them
>    as default, W=1, W=2 etc, but there are cases in which the
>    warnings should be classified differently due to excessive false
>    positives from one or the other compiler.
> 
> - Adding a way to turn the default warnings into errors (e.g. using
>    a new "make E=0" tag) while not also turning the W=1 warnings into
>    errors.
> 
> This patch for now just adds the minimal infrastructure in order to
> do the first of the list above. As the #pragma GCC diagnostic
> takes precedence over command line options, the next step would be
> to convert a lot of the individual Makefiles that set nonstandard
> options to use __diag() instead.

> [paul.burton at mips.com:
>    - Rebase atop current master.
>    - Add __diag_GCC, or more generally __diag_<compiler>, abstraction to
>      avoid code outside of linux/compiler-gcc.h needing to duplicate
>      knowledge about different GCC versions.
>    - Add a comment argument to __diag_{ignore,warn,error} which isn't
>      used in the expansion of the macros but serves to push people to
>      document the reason for using them - per feedback from Kees Cook.]
