The kernel supports a minimum GCC version of 5.1.0 for building. However,
the "__diag_ignore_all" directive only suppresses the
"-Wmissing-prototypes" warning for GCC versions >= 8.0.0. As a result, when
building the kernel with older GCC versions, warnings may be triggered. The
example below illustrates the warnings reported by the kernel test robot
using GCC 7.5.0:
compiler: gcc-7 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-6ubuntu2) 7.5.0
All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
kernel/bpf/helpers.c:1893:19: warning: no previous prototype for 'bpf_obj_new_impl' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
__bpf_kfunc void *bpf_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/bpf/helpers.c:1907:19: warning: no previous prototype for 'bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
__bpf_kfunc void *bpf_percpu_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign)
[...]
To address this, we should also suppress the "-Wmissing-prototypes" warning
for older GCC versions. "#pragma GCC diagnostic push" is supported as
of GCC 4.6, and both "-Wmissing-prototypes" and "-Wmissing-declarations"
are supported for all the GCC versions that we currently support.
Therefore, it is reasonable to suppress these warnings for all supported
GCC versions.
With this adjustment, it's important to note that after implementing
"__diag_ignore_all", it will effectively suppress warnings for all the
supported GCC versions.
In the future, if you wish to suppress warnings that are only supported on
higher GCC versions, it is advisable to explicitly use "__diag_ignore" to
specify the GCC version you are targeting.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
