[PATCH 01/22] kbuild: disable -Wformat-truncation warnings by default

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2017-07-14 12:08:53
Also in: linux-kbuild, linux-scsi, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

With x86 allmodconfig, we currently get 233 -Wformat-truncation warnings,
which makes the entire warnings rather useless.

This turns off the warning by default, unless we specify W=1 or higher
