I don't think so, since the efistub should now get '-fexperimental-late-parse-attributes' from the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, which is what prompted this patch in the first place: https://lore.kernel.org/CAGG=3QWCmQ+LVvn2dtjEauj5WFwvx=pvg4q6man_a2imdjr...@mail.gmail.com/ As I mentioned up thread and to Kees in person, we should still consider adding '-fexperimental-late-parse-attributes' into CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to cover other areas that may see __counted_by_ptr use but it is probably not as high priority. -- Cheers, Nathan
