[PATCH] [v2] gcov: shut up missing prototype warnings for internal stubs

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Jul 25 2023 - 08:30:52 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

gcov uses global functions that are called from generated code,
but these have no prototype in a header, which causes a W=1
build warning:

kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:12:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:40:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_flush' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:46:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_merge_add' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/gcov/gcc_base.c:52:6: error: no previous prototype for '__gcov_merge_single' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Just turn off these warnings unconditionally for the two files
that contain them.
