Given the upgrade requirement, and how clang version requirements constantly change, how much more difficult would it be for others to use gcc 7.1 or higher now instead of later?What was the argument for jumping all the way to gcc-7.1? I do think we want to have real reasons we can point to, rather than a "just because".
KASAN v5 instead of all the old versions gcc 7.1 supports fallthrough. Probably more, but those might be sufficient. _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
