CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES confuses gcc-5.x to the degree that it prints incorrect warnings about a lot of variables that it thinks can be used uninitialized, e.g.: i2c/busses/i2c-diolan-u2c.c: In function 'diolan_usb_xfer': i2c/busses/i2c-diolan-u2c.c:391:16: warning: 'byte' may be used uninitialized in this function iio/gyro/itg3200_core.c: In function 'itg3200_probe': iio/gyro/itg3200_core.c:213:6: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c: In function 'lp55xx_update_bits': leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c:350:6: warning: 'tmp' may be used uninitialized in this function misc/bmp085.c: In function 'show_pressure': misc/bmp085.c:363:10: warning: 'pressure' may be used uninitialized in this function power/ds2782_battery.c: In function 'ds2786_get_capacity': power/ds2782_battery.c:214:17: warning: 'raw' may be used uninitialized in this function These are all false positives that either rob someone's time when trying to figure out whether they are real, or they get people to send wrong patches to shut up the warnings. Nobody normally wants to run a CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES kernel in production, so disabling the whole class of warnings for this configuration has no serious downsides either.
