These are useless noise from the bitops.h file and getting rid of them helps developers make more use of the tools and possibly find real bugs. When the kernel is compiled with C=1, there are lots of messages like: arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:77:37: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ffffff7f becomes 7f) CONST_MASK() is using a signed integer "1" to create the mask which is later cast to (u8), in order to yield an 8-bit value for the assembly instructions to use. Simplify the expressions used to clearly indicate they are working on 8-bit values only, which still keeps sparse happy without an accidental promotion to a 32 bit integer. The warning was occurring because certain bitmasks that end with a bit set next to a natural boundary like 7, 15, 23, 31, end up with a mask like 0x7f, which then results in sign extension due to the integer type promotion rules[1]. It was really only clear_bit() that was having problems, and it was only on some bit checks that resulted in a mask like 0xffffff7f being generated after the inversion. Verify with a test module (see next patch) and assembly inspection that the fix doesn't introduce any change in generated code.
