Hey all,
When I run sparse, I get sparse errors. Sparse says "too many errors". For example when I run: make C=2 fs/ext4/ This is the error messages I get for one of the files. CHECK fs/ext4/ioctl.c ./arch/x86/include/asm/nospec-branch.h:146:38: warning: Unknown escape '@' ./include/linux/compiler.h:190:8: error: attribute '__gnu_inline__': unknown attribute
<snip> Upgrade your version of sparse, use the version on git.kernel.org and you should be fine. good luck! greg k-h
