Linus Torvalds 610347effc Enable -Wstringop-overflow globally
Hi Linus,
 
 Please, pull the following patches that enable -Wstringop-overflow,
 globally. These patches have been baking in linux-next for a whole
 development cycle.
 
 I waited for the release of -rc1 to run a final build-test on top of
 it before sending this pull request. Fortunatelly, after building
 358 kernels overnight (basically all supported archs with a wide
 variety of configs), no more warnings have surfaced! :)
 
 Thus, we are in a good position to enable this compiler option for
 all versions of GCC that support it, with the exception of GCC-11,
 which appears to have some issues with this option[1].

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.
