When testing overflow and overread, there is no need to keep unnecessary
compilation warnings, we should simply ignore them.
The motivation for this patch is to eliminate the compilation warning,
maybe one day we will compile the kernel with "-Werror -Wall", at which
point this compilation warning will turn into a compilation error, we
should fix this error in advance.
How to reproduce the problem (with gcc-11.3.1):
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/
...
warning: `write' reading 4294967295 bytes from a region of size 1
[-Wstringop-overread]
warning: `read' writing 4294967295 bytes into a region of size 25
overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=]
"-Wno-stringop-overread" is supported at least in gcc-11.1.0.

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.
