Makefile: use -Wno-main in the full kernel tree
When using gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0 (on openSUSE 15.3), I see a build warning: kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c: In function 'start_kthread': kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1461:8: warning: 'main' is usually a function [-Wmain] void *main = osnoise_main; ^~~~ Quieten that warning by using "-Wno-main". It's OK to use "main" as a declaration name in the kernel. Build-tested on most ARCHes. [ v2: only do it for gcc, since clang doesn't have that particular warning ] Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210813224131.25803-1-rdunlap@infradead.org/ Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Marek <michal.lkml@markovi.net> Cc: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
