[ Upstream commit 0015eb6e12 ]

When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231126 (experimental)
and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, I've noticed the following:

      |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In both cases, the fortification logic inteprets calls to 'memcpy()' as an
attempts to copy an amount of data which exceeds the size of the specified
field (i.e. more than 8 bytes from __le64 value) and thus issues an overread
warning. Both of these warnings may be silenced by using the convenient
'struct_group()' quirk.

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.
