I'm trying to use about to be released ARC gcc 6.x with current kernels and see a
flood of warnings due to these legit fixes - i.e.g arc gcc 6.2 complains when it
sees -zx formats.

CC      mm/percpu.o
../mm/percpu.c: In function ?pcpu_alloc?:
../mm/percpu.c:890:14: warning: format ?%zu? expects argument of type ?size_t?,
but argument 4 has type ?unsigned int? [-Wformat=]
   WARN(true, "illegal size (%zu) or align (%zu) for percpu allocation\n",

I'm not sure what is going on since the data type is size_t alright - although
from posix_types.h is

typedef unsigned int __kernel_size_t;
typedef __kernel_size_t size_t;

And this seems to be same for ARC as well as ARM. I tried ARM gcc 6.1 @
https://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.1-2016.08-rc1/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

which doesn't seem to be complaining.

With V=1, I checked the respective ARM and ARC toggles in play, but nothing
related to this seems to be standing out.

I know this is more of a question to our GNU folks, but was wondering if you had
more insight into it - which you almost always do :-)

Thx,
