Subject[PATCH 4.9 016/159] Makefile.extrawarn: Move -Wcast-function-type-strict to W=1
Date
From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>

commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream.

We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about
mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently
warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will
enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an
exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable
-Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have
been addressed.
