Newer versions of gcc are giving warnings in the non-MMU m68k version
of the get_user() macro:
./arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:72:25: warning: ‘__builtin_memcpy’ forming offset [3, 4] is out of the bounds [0, 2] of object ‘__gu_val’ with type ‘short unsigned int’ [-Warray-bounds]
The warnings are generated when smaller sized variables are used as the
result of user space pointers to larger values. For example a
short/2-byte variable stores the result of a user space int (4-byte)
pointer. The warning is in the 8-byte branch of get_user() - even
though that branch is not the taken branch in the warning cases.
Refactor the 8-byte branch of get_user() so that it uses a correctly
formed union type to read and write the source and destination objects.
Keep using the memcpy() just in case the user space pointer is not
naturaly aligned (not required for ColdFire, but needed for early
68000).

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.
