gcc-13 warns about function definitions for builtin interfaces that have a different prototype, e.g.: In file included from kasan_test.c:31: kasan.h:574:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__asan_register_globals'; expected 'void(void *, long int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] 574 | void __asan_register_globals(struct kasan_global *globals, size_t size); kasan.h:577:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__asan_alloca_poison'; expected 'void(void *, long int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] 577 | void __asan_alloca_poison(unsigned long addr, size_t size); kasan.h:580:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__asan_load1'; expected 'void(void *)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] 580 | void __asan_load1(unsigned long addr); kasan.h:581:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__asan_store1'; expected 'void(void *)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] 581 | void __asan_store1(unsigned long addr); kasan.h:643:6: error: conflicting types for built-in function '__hwasan_tag_memory'; expected 'void(void *, unsigned char, long int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] 643 | void __hwasan_tag_memory(unsigned long addr, u8 tag, unsigned long size); The two problems are: - Addresses are passes as 'unsigned long' in the kernel, but gcc-13 expects a 'void *'. - sizes meant to use a signed ssize_t rather than size_t. Change all the prototypes to match these. Using 'void *' consistently for addresses gets rid of a couple of type casts, so push that down to the leaf functions where possible. This now passes all randconfig builds on arm, arm64 and x86, but I have not tested it on the other architectures that support kasan, since they tend to fail randconfig builds in other ways. This might fail if any of the 32-bit architectures expect a 'long' instead of 'int' for the size argument. The __asan_allocas_unpoison() function prototype is somewhat weird, since it uses a pointer for 'stack_top' and an size_t for 'stack_bottom'. This looks like it is meant to be 'addr' and 'size' like the others, but the implementation clearly treats them as 'top' and 'bottom'.

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.
