The compilation emits a warning in function ‘snprintf’, inlined from ‘set_cmdline’ at ../Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c:1541:9: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdio2.h:64:10: warning: call to __builtin___snprintf_chk will always overflow destination buffer This was introduced in commit f4a66c204482 ("misc: mic: Update MIC host daemon with COSM changes") and is fixed by reverting the changes to the size argument of these snprintf statements.
