Subject: [PATCH] x86: Get rid of 'dubious one-bit signed bitfield' sprase warning
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:11:46 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120111011146.GA30428@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)

This very noisy sparse warning appears on almost every file in the
kernel:

  CHECK   init/main.c
arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:43:55: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield
arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:44:46: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield

This patch changes sig_on_uaccess_error and uaccess_err flags to unsigned
type and thus fixes the warning.

Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <cbouatmailru@gmail.com>

Not sure why this warning is still there, as it spams the build process
a lot. I googled some discussion dated month ago... but no one sent a
patch?

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kernel-janitors/msg10172.html

I went safest way, i.e. changing types to unsigned instead of bool/__u8.
