2022-06-09gcc-12: disable '-Warray-bounds' universally for nowLinus Torvalds1-0/+9
In commit 8b202ee21839 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro, which accesses absolute pointers. It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config entry instead. Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example: select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues. Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again the s390 case as an example: KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds) but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since the current issues are spread fairly widely all over: KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this warning.

At my request Aaron Tomlin spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.

There are three reasons why an architecture might want this: a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not. b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the probability of module text to remain within a closer distance from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead. c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module data with text let's future generic special allocators be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

2022-05-24kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCSMasahiro Yamada1-4/+0
include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

2022-05-13mm/uffd: move USERFAULTFD configs into mm/Peter Xu1-17/+0
We used to have USERFAULTFD configs stored in init/. It makes sense as a start because that's the default place for storing syscall related configs. However userfaultfd evolved a bit in the past few years and some more config options were added. They're no longer related to syscalls and start to be not suitable to be kept in the init/ directory anymore, because they're pure mm concepts. But it's not ideal either to keep the userfaultfd configs separate from each other. Hence this patch moves the userfaultfd configs under init/ to be under mm/ so that we'll start to group all userfaultfd configs together. We do have quite a few examples of syscall related configs that are not put under init/Kconfig: FTRACE_SYSCALLS, SWAP, FILE_LOCKING, MEMFD_CREATE.. They all reside in the dir where they're more suitable for the concept. So it seems there's no restriction to keep the role of having syscall related CONFIG_* under init/ only.

2022-05-12module: Introduce module unload taint trackingAaron Tomlin1-0/+11
Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded. The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained. The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by default.

2022-05-10initramfs: add INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig optionDavid Disseldorp1-0/+10
initramfs cpio mtime preservation, as implemented in commit 889d51a10712 ("initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images"), uses a linked list to defer directory mtime processing until after all other items in the cpio archive have been processed. This is done to ensure that parent directory mtimes aren't overwritten via subsequent child creation. The lkml link below indicates that the mtime retention use case was for embedded devices with applications running exclusively out of initramfs, where the 32-bit mtime value provided a rough file version identifier. Linux distributions which discard an extracted initramfs immediately after the root filesystem has been mounted may want to avoid the unnecessary overhead. This change adds a new INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig option, which can be used to disable on-by-default mtime retention and in turn speed up initramfs extraction, particularly for cpio archives with large directory counts. Benchmarks with a one million directory cpio archive extracted 20 times demonstrated: mean extraction time (s) std dev INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME=y 3.808 0.006 INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME unset 3.056 0.004 The above extraction times were measured using ftrace (initcall_finish - initcall_start) values for populate_rootfs() with initramfs_async disabled.

2022-04-27bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig file in kernelMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+20
This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default bootconfigs. This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE. Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead of the default bootconfig.

2022-04-13Kconfig: Add option for asm goto w/ tied outputs to workaround clang-13 bugSean Christopherson1-0/+5
Add a config option to guard (future) usage of asm_volatile_goto() that includes "tied outputs", i.e. "+" constraints that specify both an input and output parameter. clang-13 has a bug[1] that causes compilation of such inline asm to fail, and KVM wants to use a "+m" constraint to implement a uaccess form of CMPXCHG[2]. E.g. the test code fails with <stdin>:1:29: error: invalid operand in inline asm: '.long (${1:l}) - .' int foo(int *x) { asm goto (".long (%l[bar]) - .\n": "+m"(*x) ::: bar); return *x; bar: return 0; } ^ <stdin>:1:29: error: unknown token in expression <inline asm>:1:9: note: instantiated into assembly here .long () - . ^ 2 errors generated. on clang-13, but passes on gcc (with appropriate asm goto support). The bug is fixed in clang-14, but won't be backported to clang-13 as the changes are too invasive/risky. gcc also had a similar bug[3], fixed in gcc-11, where gcc failed to account for its behavior of assigning two numbers to tied outputs (one for input, one for output) when evaluating symbolic references.

2022-04-06mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objectsOliver Glitta1-0/+1
Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays. Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once. Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use stackdepot to save stack trace. The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate per-cache statistics in the following patch using the stackdepot handle instead of matching stacks manually. [ vbabka@suse.cz: rebase to 5.17-rc1 and adjust accordingly ] This was initially merged as commit 788691464c29 and reverted by commit ae14c63a9f20 due to several issues, that should now be fixed. The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been addressed by commit 2dba5eb1c73b ("lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()"), so the dependency on stackdepot will result in extra memory usage only when a slab cache tracking is actually enabled, and not for all CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG builds. The build failures on some architectures were also addressed, and the reported issue with xfs/433 test did not reproduce on 5.17-rc1 with this patch.

asm-generic * 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc: remove the h8300 architecture This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just for .text/.data. Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013 after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups: $ git log --no-merges --format=%an v4.5.. arch/h8300/ | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 12 25 Masahiro Yamada 18 Christoph Hellwig 14 Mike Rapoport 9 Arnd Bergmann 8 Mark Rutland 7 Peter Zijlstra 6 Kees Cook 6 Ingo Molnar 6 Al Viro 5 Randy Dunlap 4 Yury Norov Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request. Core ---- - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO). - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little. Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns. Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration to complete out of order. - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect). - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the stack. - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically allocated per-CPU counters. - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT. - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs. BPF --- - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity. Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting split. - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers. - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the user-mode-driver dependency. - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling its use as a packet generator. - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called from a hook allowed to sleep. - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch bits to come later). - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF kfunc infra. - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space. - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching. - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers. - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64. - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels without BTF info. - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations. Protocols --------- - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev. - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames. - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable, via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client behavior. - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge. - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames. - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.) - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets. - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS. Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules. - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X). - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs, doubling the performance in some scenarios. - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch. - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port. Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor. - SMC - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile() - support auto-corking - support TCP_NODELAY - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) - add user space tag control interface - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237) - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi. - Bluetooth: - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events - Multi-Path TCP: - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB. Driver API ---------- - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to software interfaces such as tunnels. - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8. - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks. - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of TCP zero-copy Rx. - Allow configuring completion queue event size. - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation. - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool. - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches. - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture): - replay and offload of host VLAN entries - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces - FDB isolation and unicast filtering New hardware / drivers ---------------------- - Ethernet: - LAN937x T1 PHYs - Davicom DM9051 SPI NIC driver - Realtek RTL8367S, RTL8367RB-VB switch and MDIO - Microchip ksz8563 switches - Netronome NFP3800 SmartNICs - Fungible SmartNICs - MediaTek MT8195 switches - WiFi: - mt76: MediaTek mt7916 - mt76: MediaTek mt7921u USB adapters - brcmfmac: Broadcom BCM43454/6 - Mobile: - iosm: Intel M.2 7360 WWAN card Drivers ------- - Convert many drivers to the new phylink API built for split PCS designs but also simplifying other cases. - Intel Ethernet NICs: - add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device - improve AF_XDP performance - GTP-C and GTP-U filter offload - QinQ VLAN support - Mellanox Ethernet NICs (mlx5): - support xdp->data_meta - multi-buffer XDP - offload tc push_eth and pop_eth actions - Netronome Ethernet NICs (nfp): - flow-independent tc action hardware offload (police / meter) - AF_XDP - Other Ethernet NICs: - at803x: fiber and SFP support - xgmac: mdio: preamble suppression and custom MDC frequencies - r8169: enable ASPM L1.2 if system vendor flags it as safe - macb/gem: ZynqMP SGMII - hns3: add TX push mode - dpaa2-eth: software TSO - lan743x: multi-queue, mdio, SGMII, PTP - axienet: NAPI and GRO support - Mellanox Ethernet switches (mlxsw): - source and dest IP address rewrites - RJ45 ports - Marvell Ethernet switches (prestera): - basic routing offload - multi-chain TC ACL offload - NXP embedded Ethernet switches (ocelot & felix): - PTP over UDP with the ocelot-8021q DSA tagging protocol - basic QoS classification on Felix DSA switch using dcbnl - port mirroring for ocelot switches - Microchip high-speed industrial Ethernet (sparx5): - offloading of bridge port flooding flags - PTP Hardware Clock - Other embedded switches: - lan966x: PTP Hardward Clock - qca8k: mdio read/write operations via crafted Ethernet packets - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - add LDPC FEC type and 802.11ax High Efficiency data in radiotap - enable RX PPDU stats in monitor co-exist mode - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - UHB TAS enablement via BIOS - band disablement via BIOS - channel switch offload - 32 Rx AMPDU sessions in newer devices - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - background radar detection - thermal management improvements on mt7915 - SAR support for more mt76 platforms - MBSSID and 6 GHz band on mt7915 - RealTek WiFi: - rtw89: AP mode - rtw89: 160 MHz channels and 6 GHz band - rtw89: hardware scan - Bluetooth: - mt7921s: wake on Bluetooth, SCO over I2S, wide-band-speed (WBS) - Microchip CAN (mcp251xfd): - multiple RX-FIFOs and runtime configurable RX/TX rings - internal PLL, runtime PM handling simplification - improve chip detection and error handling after wakeup" * tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2521 commits) llc: fix netdevice reference leaks in llc_ui_bind() drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt net/sched: fix incorrect vlan_push_eth dest field net: bridge: mst: Restrict info size queries to bridge ports net: marvell: prestera: add missing destroy_workqueue() in prestera_module_init() drivers: net: xgene: Fix regression in CRC stripping net: geneve: add missing netlink policy and size for IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT net: dsa: fix missing host-filtered multicast addresses net/mlx5e: Fix build warning, detected write beyond size of field iwlwifi: mvm: Don't fail if PPAG isn't supported selftests/bpf: Fix kprobe_multi test.

2022-01-12module: add in-kernel support for decompressingDmitry Torokhov1-0/+13
Current scheme of having userspace decompress kernel modules before loading them into the kernel runs afoul of LoadPin security policy, as it loses link between the source of kernel module on the disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel. To solve this issue let's implement decompression in kernel, so that we can pass a file descriptor of compressed module file into finit_module() which will keep LoadPin happy. To let userspace know what compression/decompression scheme kernel supports it will create /sys/module/compression attribute. kmod can read this attribute and decide if it can pass compressed file to finit_module(). New MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_DATA flag indicates that the kernel should attempt to decompress the data read from file descriptor prior to trying load the module. To simplify things kernel will only implement single decompression method matching compression method selected when generating modules. This patch implements gzip and xz; more can be added later, Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

2021-11-25futex: Ensure futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is presentArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
The boot-time detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() has a bug on some 32-bit arm builds, and Thomas Gleixner suggested that setting CONFIG_HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG would avoid the problem, as it is always present anyway. Looking into which other architectures could do the same showed that almost all architectures have it, the exceptions being: - some old 32-bit MIPS uniprocessor cores without ll/sc - one xtensa variant with no SMP - 32-bit SPARC when built for SMP Fix MIPS And Xtensa by rearranging the generic code to let it be used as a fallback. For SPARC, the SMP definition just ends up turning off futex anyway, so this can be done at Kconfig time instead. Note that sparc32 glibc requires the CASA instruction for its mutexes anyway, which is only available when running on SPARCv9 or LEON CPUs, but needs to be implemented in the sparc32 kernel for those.

Add Kconfig support for -Wimplicit-fallthrough for both GCC and Clang. The compiler option is under configuration CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH, which is enabled by default. Special thanks to Nathan Chancellor who fixed the Clang bug[1][2]. This bugfix only appears in Clang 14.0.0, so older versions still contain the bug and -Wimplicit-fallthrough won't be enabled for them, for now. This concludes a long journey and now we are finally getting rid of the unintentional fallthrough bug-class in the kernel, entirely. :) Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/9ed4a94d6451046a51ef393cd62f00710820a7e8 [1] Link: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51094 [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/115 Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/236 Co-developed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

2021-11-11mm: allow only SLUB on PREEMPT_RTIngo Molnar1-0/+2
Memory allocators may disable interrupts or preemption as part of the allocation and freeing process. For PREEMPT_RT it is important that these sections remain deterministic and short and therefore don't depend on the size of the memory to allocate/ free or the inner state of the algorithm. Until v3.12-RT the SLAB allocator was an option but involved several changes to meet all the requirements. The SLUB design fits better with PREEMPT_RT model and so the SLAB patches were dropped in the 3.12-RT patchset. Comparing the two allocator, SLUB outperformed SLAB in both throughput (time needed to allocate and free memory) and the maximal latency of the system measured with cyclictest during hackbench. SLOB was never evaluated since it was unlikely that it preforms better than SLAB. During a quick test, the kernel crashed with SLOB enabled during boot. Disable SLAB and SLOB on PREEMPT_RT.

Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used.

2021-09-08kbuild: Only default to -Werror if COMPILE_TESTMarco Elver1-1/+1
The cross-product of the kernel's supported toolchains, architectures, and configuration options is large. So large, that it's generally accepted to be infeasible to enumerate and build+test them all (many compile-testers rely on randomly generated configs). Without the possibility to enumerate all possible combinations of toolchains, architectures, and configuration options, it is inevitable that compiler warnings in this space exist. With -Werror, this means that an innumerable set of kernels are now broken, yet had been perfectly usable before (confused compilers, code with warnings unused, or luck). Distributors will necessarily pick a point in the toolchain X arch X config space, and if unlucky, will have a broken build. Granted, those will likely disable CONFIG_WERROR and move on. The kernel's default configuration is unlikely to be suitable for all users, but it's inappropriate to force many users to set CONFIG_WERROR=n. This also holds for CI systems which are focused on runtime testing, where the odd warning in some subsystem will disrupt testing of the rest of the kernel. Many of those runtime-focused CI systems run tests or fuzz the kernel using runtime debugging tools. Runtime testing of different subsystems can proceed in parallel, and potentially uncover serious bugs; halting runtime testing of the entire kernel because of the odd warning (now error) in a subsystem or driver is simply inappropriate. Therefore, runtime-focused CI systems will likely choose CONFIG_WERROR=n as well. The appropriate usecase for -Werror is therefore compile-test focused builds (often done by developers or CI systems). Reflect this in the Kconfig option by making the default value of WERROR match COMPILE_TEST.

2021-09-05Enable '-Werror' by default for all kernel buildsLinus Torvalds1-0/+14
... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable it when required. We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them. But while I fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings. So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular issues. Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation. Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place. Knock wood.
