[Syllable-kernel] Kernel warnings

[Daniel G. <da...@fp...>]

Hi, Jake.

During my work on the scheduler, I modified the kernel makefiles to
build on my linux box (although it doesn't link), so that I could catch
stupid compile errors without having to send the patches to my syllable
box.  In addition, I added -Werror to my CFLAGS.  I'm using gcc 3.4.3,
so this caught a bunch of warnings that don't show up on syllable.
Attached are several patches that fix the most obvious of these
warnings.

seqlock_init.patch

This one should definitely be applied. Seqlocks are being
mis-initialized.


syllable-warnings-config-h.patch
syllable-warnings-device-h.patch
syllable-warnings-image-h.patch
syllable-warnings-irq-h.patch
syllable-warnings-socket-h.patch
syllable-warnings-if-h.patch
syllable-warnings-net-h.patch

These all fix "not a prototype" warnings.  This is new to gcc 3.4, where
it now wants a void argument on function prototypes that take no
arguments.


syllable-warnings-spinlock-h.patch

atomic_t now has the volatile in it.


syllable-warnings-sockios-h.patch

No comment around #endif comment


syllable-warnings-strace.patch

This moves two static structures from a header to the single file
they're used in.  They should either be moved, or not marked static (but
rather const), because gcc warns that static structs are not used.  I'd
vote for moving them, hence the patch.

If some or all of these could be applied, that would make my life
somewhat easier.

Thanks,
Daniel
