Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.
Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.
The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.
If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we
now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is
exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel
unwinder can't cope with.
This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter
because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in
the module loader)
The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame.
For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is
generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
.eh_frame generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
.debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2

linux-next has been reporting gazillion warnings for ARC build and
I finally decided to take a bite:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/12638735/
Most of the them are due to -Wmaybe-uninitialized
| ../kernel/sysctl.c: In function '__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax':
| ../kernel/sysctl.c:1928:12: warning: 'p' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
| ret = tmp - *buf;
| ^
| ../kernel/sysctl.c:2342:29: note: 'p' was declared here
| char *kbuf = NULL, *p;
| ^
| ...
| ...
Cursory look at code seemed fine and a definite gcc false positive in say
kernel/sysctl.c
Mystery was why only for ARC (and not with ARM linaro toolchain based
off same gcc 4.8). Turns out that -O3 (default for ARC) triggers these
and if I enable -O3 for ARM kernel build, I see the same splat.
I initially wanted to disable this only for gcc 4.8, but Arnd reported
it is seen even on gcc 6.0 for ARM with -O3. Thus better to disable
this independent of gcc version.

ARC architecture has 2 instruction sets: ARCompact/ARCv2.
While same gcc supports compiling for either (using appropriate toggles),
we can't use the same toolchain to build kernel because libgcc needs
to be unique and the toolchian (uClibc based) is not multilibed.
uClibc toolchain is convenient since it allows all userspace and
kernel to be built with a single install for an ISA.
This however means 2 gnu installs (with same triplet prefix) are needed
for building for 2 ISA and need to be in PATH.
As developers we keep switching the builds, but would occassionally fail
to update the PATH leading to usage of wrong tools. And this would only
show up at the end of kernel build when linking incompatible libgcc.
So the initial solution was to have gcc define a special preprocessor macro
DEFAULT_CPU_xxx which is unique for default toolchain configuration.
Claudiu proposed using grep for an existing preprocessor macro which is
again uniquely defined per ISA.

At -Os, ARC gcc generates millicode thunk for function prologue/epilogue,
which are served by libgcc.
Modules historically are NOT linked with libgcc to avoid code bloat, reducing
runtime relocation fixups etc. I even once tried doing that but got lost
in makefile intricacies.
This means modules at -Os don't get the millicode thunks, causing build
failures below:
| MODPOST 5 modules
| ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r18" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined!

Workaround that by inhibiting millicode thunks for loadable modules

ARC kernels have historically been built with -O3, despite top level
Makefile defaulting to -O2. This was facilitated by implicitly ordering
of arch makefile include AFTER top level assigned -O2.
An upstream fix to top level a1c48bb160 ("Makefile: Fix unrecognized
cross-compiler command line options") changed the ordering, making ARC
-O3 defunct.
Fix that by NOT relying on any ordering whatsoever and use the proper
arch override facility now present in kbuild (ARCH_*FLAGS)

drags bootup for some very slow FPGA customer boards.
So introduce seperate make targets:uImage.{bin,gz} with uncompressed

ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
includes:
-Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
-Cache coherency
-load-locked/store-conditional
...
The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
prologues to keep them re-entrant.
Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is
addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several
deficiencies:
* Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT
(e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..)
* Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs)
* cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive.
The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches.
Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for
both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt
performance.
