-Wformat was recently re-enabled for builds with clang, then quickly re-disabled, due to concerns stemming from the frequency of default argument promotion related warning instances. commit258fafcd06("Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang") commit21f9c8a13b("Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang"") ISO WG14 has ratified N2562 to address default argument promotion explicitly for printf, as part of the upcoming ISO C2X standard. The behavior of clang was changed in clang-16 to not warn for the cited cases in all language modes. Add a version check, so that users of clang-16 now get the full effect of -Wformat. For older clang versions, re-enable flags under the -Wformat group that way users still get some useful checks related to format strings, without noisy default argument promotion warnings. I intentionally omitted -Wformat-y2k and -Wformat-security from being re-enabled, which are also part of -Wformat in clang-16.

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.
