LKP reported warnings [1] regarding files being ignored:
   tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/.gitignore: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
   tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/Makefile: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
   tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/tags_test.c: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files

These warnings can be reproduced by compiling the kernel with the W=1 option.
Although these files are tracked by Git and the warnings are false
positives, adjusting the .gitignore entries will prevent these warnings and
ensure a smoother script execution.

What I meant in the previous reply is LKP is unrelated
because "make W=1" is enough to reproduce these warnings.


Applied to linux-kbuild with the following simplified commit log.


    W=1 builds reported warnings regarding files being ignored:
         [ snip ]

    Although these files are tracked by Git and the warnings are false


Thanks.
