Merge tag 'Wimplicit-fallthrough-clang-5.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux

Pull fallthrough fixes from Gustavo Silva:
 "This fixes many fall-through warnings when building with Clang and
  -Wimplicit-fallthrough, and also enables -Wimplicit-fallthrough for
  Clang, globally.

  It's also important to notice that since we have adopted the use of
  the pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough, we also want to avoid having
  more /* fall through */ comments being introduced. Contrary to GCC,
  Clang doesn't recognize any comments as implicit fall-through markings
  when the -Wimplicit-fallthrough option is enabled.

  So, in order to avoid having more comments being introduced, we use
  the option -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 for GCC, which similar to Clang,
  will cause a warning in case a code comment is intended to be used as
  a fall-through marking. The patch for Makefile also enforces this.

  We had almost 4,000 of these issues for Clang in the beginning, and
  there might be a couple more out there when building some
  architectures with certain configurations. However, with the recent
  fixes I think we are in good shape and it is now possible to enable
  the warning for Clang"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
