[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Ignore -Wstring-compare with diagnostic macros

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Mar 19 2024 - 12:09:15 EST


Commit b1afefa62ca9 ("tracing: Use strcmp() in __assign_str() WARN_ON()
check") addressed a clang warning, -Wstring-compare, with the use of
__builtin_constant_p() to dispatch to strcmp() if the source string is a
string literal and a direct comparison if not. Unfortunately, even with
this change, the warning is still present because __builtin_constant_p()
is not evaluated at this stage of the pipeline, so clang still thinks
the else branch could occur for this situation:

include/trace/events/sunrpc.h:705:4: error: result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare]
...
include/trace/stages/stage6_event_callback.h:40:15: note: expanded from macro '__assign_str'
40 | (src) != __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_); \
| ^
...

Use the compiler diagnostic macros to disable this warning around the
WARN_ON_ONCE() expression since a string comparison function, strcmp(),
will always be used for the comparison of string literals.
