[PATCH] ftrace: Build with CPPFLAGS to get -Qunused-arguments

From: Joel Stanley
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 03:38:10 EST


When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses
KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks
-Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of
noisy warnings.

Not sure why -Qunused-arguments is in CPP instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS. We
could instead put it in KBUILD_CFLAGS, and not need this patch.
