+Subject        [PATCH] perf: fix gcc4.6 build failure with unused-but-set warning
+Date   Thu, 2 Jun 2011 13:47:48 -0700
+I ran into the following build failure with gcc 4.6:
+
+       bench/sched-pipe.c: In function 'bench_sched_pipe':
+       bench/sched-pipe.c:58:6: error: variable 'ret' set but not used
+       [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
+       cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
+
+As the main kernel Makefile has added -Wno-unused-but-set-variable
+and sched-pipe.c claims:
+
+       /*
+        * why does "ret" exist?
+        * discarding returned value of read(), write()
+        * causes error in building environment for perf
+        */
+This patch creates a new perf/Makefile variable, LESS_WARNINGS and
+adds -Wno-unused-but-set-variable. The new variable helps distinguish
+between the added warnings in EXTRA_WARNINGS versus those we want to
+remove, including the existing -Wno-system-headers which I moved to
+LESS_WARNINGS.
