Linux kernel source tree

When building with Clang we encounter the following warning: | drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-dcb.c:234:42: error: format specifies | type 'unsigned char' but the argument has type '__u16' (aka 'unsigned | short') [-Werror,-Wformat] pfc->pfc_cap, pfc->pfc_en, pfc->mbc, | pfc->delay); pfc->pfc_cap , pfc->pfc_cn, pfc->mbc are all of type `u8` while pfc->delay is of type `u16`. The correct format specifiers `%hh[u|x]` were used for the first three but not for pfc->delay, which is causing the warning above. Variadic functions (printf-like) undergo default argument promotion. Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst specifically recommends using the promoted-to-type's format flag. In this case `%d` (or `%x` to maintain hex representation) should be used since both u8's and u16's are fully representable by an int. Moreover, C11 6.3.1.1 states: (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf) `If an int can represent all values of the original type ..., the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions.` Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/378 Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220708232653.556488-1-justinstitt@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

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.
