This is the follow-up to commit a79be02bba ("Fix mis-uses of
'cc-option' for warning disablement") where I mentioned that the best
fix would be to just make 'cc-option' a bit smarter, and work for all
compiler options, including the '-Wno-xyzzy' pattern that it used to
accept unknown options for.
It turns out that fixing cc-option is pretty straightforward: just
rewrite any '-Wno-xyzzy' option pattern to use '-Wxyzzy' instead for
testing.
That makes the whole artificial distinction between 'cc-option' and
'cc-disable-warning' go away, and we can happily forget about the odd
build rule that you have to treat compiler options that disable warnings
specially.
The 'cc-disable-warning' helper remains as a backwards compatibility
syntax for now, but is implemented in terms of the new and improved
cc-option.

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 reStructuredText 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.
