Linus Torvalds 21f9c8a13b Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang" 
This reverts commit 258fafcd06.

The clang -Wformat warning is terminally broken, and the clang people
can't seem to get their act together.

This test program causes a warning with clang:

	#include <stdio.h>

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
	}

resulting in

  t.c:5:19: warning: format specifies type 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Wformat]
          printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
                  ~~~~     ^~~
                  %d

and apparently clang people consider that a feature, because they don't
want to face the reality of how either C character constants, C
arithmetic, and C varargs functions work.

The rest of the world just shakes their head at that kind of
incompetence, and turns off -Wformat for clang again.

And no, the "you should use a pointless cast to shut this up" is not a
valid answer.  That warning should not exist in the first place, or at
least be optinal with some "-Wformat-me-harder" kind of option.

[ Admittedly, there's also very little reason to *ever* use '%hh[ud]' in
  C, but what little reason there is is entirely about 'I want to see
  only the low 8 bits of the argument'. So I would suggest nobody ever
  use that format in the first place, but if they do, the clang
  behavious is simply always wrong. Because '%hhu' takes an 'int'. It's
  that simple. ]

README

README 

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.
