Revert commit cebc04ba9aeb ("add CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK"). A lot of warn_unused_result wearings existed in 2006, but until now they have been fixed thanks to people doing allmodconfig tests. Our goal is to always enable __must_check where appropriate, so this CONFIG option is no longer needed. I see a lot of defconfig (arch/*/configs/*_defconfig) files having: # CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK is not set I did not touch them for now since it would be a big churn. If arch maintainers want to clean them up, please go ahead. While I was here, I also moved __must_check to compiler_attributes.h from compiler_types.h Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> --- Changes in v2: - Move __must_check to compiler_attributes.h include/linux/compiler_attributes.h | 7 +++++++ include/linux/compiler_types.h | 6 ------ lib/Kconfig.debug | 8 -------- tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/debug.config | 1 - 4 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
