mainlining shenanigans
31bb90f1cd
My randconfig tests on linux-next showed a newly introduced warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c: In function 'amdgpu_bo_create_restricted':
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_object.c:377:2: error: #warning Please enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT for better performance thanks to write-combining [-Werror=cpp]
Generally speaking, warnings about bad kernel configuration are not particularly
helpful. We could enforce the selection of X86_PAT through Kconfig, so the driver
cannot even be used unless it is enabled, or we could just rely on the runtime
warning that is also there.
In this version, I'm making the warning conditional on CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, which
shuts it up for me, but not people that may actually want to run the kernel
as a compromize.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
