With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.
Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)
Quoting from ARC ABI...
"Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
variable whose address is passed in r0.
For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
passed in r1 and up."
So
- struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
code at call sites
- callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
MOV into return reg r0)
Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC
