The tests for initializing a variable defined between a switch statement's test and its first "case" statement are currently not initialized in Clang[1] nor the proposed auto-initialization feature in GCC. We should retain the test (so that we can evaluate compiler fixes), but mark it as an "expected fail". The rest of the kernel source will be adjusted to avoid this corner case. Also disable -Wswitch-unreachable for the test so that the intentionally broken code won't trigger warnings for GCC (nor future Clang) when initialization happens this unhandled place.

README
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.
