Building with GCC 11.x results in the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c: In function ‘find_blobs_in_containers’: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:504:58: error: ‘h.bin’ directive output may be truncated writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 7 [-Werror=format-truncation=] arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:503:17: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 35 and 41 bytes into a destination of size 36 The issue is that GCC does not know that the family can only be a byte (it ultimately comes from CPUID). Suggest the right size to the compiler by marking the argument as char-size ("hh"). While at it, instead of using the slightly more obscure precision specifier use the width with zero padding (over 23000 occurrences in kernel sources, vs 500 for the idiom using the precision).

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.
