When compiling a kernel with W=1, there are several of those warnings
due to arm64 override a field by purpose. Just disable those warnings
for both GCC and Clang of this file, so it will help dig "gems" hidden
in the W=1 warnings by reducing some noises.
mm/init-mm.c:39:2: warning: initializer overrides prior initialization
of this subobject [-Winitializer-overrides]
INIT_MM_CONTEXT(init_mm)

Note: there is a side project trying to support explicitly allowing
specific initializer overrides in Clang, but there is no guarantee it
will happen or not.

There are only a handful such warnings that remain in the kernel, in particular for drivers/ide. Need to rebase an old patch of mine to turn that off as well. |

-Winitializer-overrides/-Woverride-inittends to get disabled because it is seen as noisy:https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190806193434.965-1-cai@lca.pw/

Mark Rutland requested some attribute or intrinsic that would make it clear to the developer and clang that an override was intended so that the warning could be silenced on a per-assignment basis; this would allow a range initializer to be used but individual members could be selectively overridden.
See his email for more information:

This issue is to gather initial feedback into how possible/feasible this is then file an LLVM bug.
