Yes, I noticed this but haven't gotten around to prepare a patch. I'll comment
below.

Ack. I have not looked much at randconfig output, but this has certianly
grown worse after CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP has gotten included in ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM

Hmm, I did not get that one, but I think that's from arm-soc and I'll
try to fix it up.

Right, the problem here is that the code was never tested with an ARMv6+ARMv7 config.
We can either fix it up by adding

	.arch	armv7-a

in the assembly files, or by doing the same in the Makefile:

AFLAGS_vlock.S += -march=armv7-a
AFLAGS_mcpm_head.S += -march=armv7-a

If you have a preference one way or another I can send you a proper patch,
or you just fix it up in your tree.

>arch/arm/common/mcpm_platsmp.c: In function 'mcpm_secondary_init':
>arch/arm/common/mcpm_platsmp.c:52:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'gic_secondary_init'

This is from a conflict between Nico's patch and Catalin's removal of the
gic_secondary_init function as part of c0114709ed "irqchip: gic: Perform
the gic_secondary_init() call via CPU notifier". I think we can just remove
the call here, but I'm not completely sure if I understand the patch
right.

I've not seen this one before. There are many randconfig problems remaining I fear.

I sent a patch last week for this one, and the patch was applied in the
KVM tree.

My patch for this one was applied to the DRM tree.

I haven't seen this one.

I'm not that worried about staging drivers, although I sent a couple of fixes for
other staging bugs I found.

>warning: (UX500_SOC_COMMON) selects PINCTRL_ABX500 which has unmet direct dependencies (PINCTRL && AB8500_CORE)

This seems to be newly introduced and should definitely be fixed soon.

>warning: (VIRTIO_PCI && VIRTIO_MMIO && REMOTEPROC && RPMSG) selects VIRTIO which has unmet direct dependencies (VIRTUALIZATION)

This one has been around forever. I had a patch before but it was never urgent enough, since it's
only a harmless warning in randconfig.

I don't know this one.

I think I made a fix for these before but gave up for now with too many other randconfig
warnings without CONFIG_PROC_FS. Same thing for CONFIG_BUG: I ended up just hard enabling
those.

My solution to this one was to slightly enlarge the stack size limit on ARM. There are a couple
of functions that have a stack that is just over 1KB on ARM but just under 1KB on other
architectures.

I have now queued up my patch that removes the bogus "used uninitialized" warnings
we get with gcc-4.7 or later and -Os.

Stupid gcc optimization. I thought this was fixed in gcc. Which version are you using?
