There's been an ongoing mission to re-enable the -Wformat warning for Clang. A previous attempt at enabling the warning showed that there were many instances of this warning throughout the codebase. The sheer amount of these warnings really polluted builds and thus -Wno-format was added to _temporarily_ toggle them off. After many patches the warning has largely been eradicated for x86, x86_64, arm, and arm64 on a variety of configs. The time to enable the warning has never been better as it seems for the first time we are ahead of them and can now solve them as they appear rather than tackling from a backlog. As to the root cause of this large backlog of warnings, Clang seems to pickup on some more nuanced cases of format warnings caused by implicit integer conversion as well as default argument promotions from printf-like functions.

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.
