4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> commit b5bf1733d6a391c4e90ea8f8468d83023be74a2a upstream. For cases where implicit fall through case labels are intended, to let us inform that to gcc >= 7: CC /tmp/build/perf/util/string.o util/string.c: In function 'perf_atoll': util/string.c:22:7: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=] if (*p) ^ util/string.c:24:3: note: here case '\0': ^~~~ So we introduce: #define __fallthrough __attribute__ ((fallthrough)) And use it in such cases.
