The generic implementation of raw_cpu_generic_add_return() is:
#define raw_cpu_generic_add_return(pcp, val) \
({ \
typeof(&(pcp)) __p = raw_cpu_ptr(&(pcp)); \
\
*__p += val; \
*__p; \
})
where the 'pcp' argument is a __percpu lvalue.
There, the variable '__p' is declared as a __percpu pointer
the type of the address of 'pcp') but:
1) the value assigned to it, the return value of raw_cpu_ptr(), is
a plain (__kernel) pointer, not a __percpu one.
2) this variable is dereferenced just after while a __percpu
pointer is implicitly __noderef.
So, fix the declaration of the 'pcp' variable to its correct type:
the plain (non-percpu) pointer corresponding to pcp's address,
using the fact that typeof() ignores the address space and the
'noderef' attribute of its agument.
Same for raw_cpu_generic_xchg(), raw_cpu_generic_cmpxchg() &
raw_cpu_generic_cmpxchg_double().
This removes 209 warnings on ARM, 525 on ARM64, 220 on x86 &
more than 2600 on ppc64 (all of them with the default config).

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.
