commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream. We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable -Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have been addressed.

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.
