This warning behaves differently depending on the architecture and compiler. Using x86 gcc, we get no output at all because gcc knows the architecture can handle unaligned accesses. Using x86 clang, or gcc on an architecture that needs to manually deal with unaligned accesses, the build log is completely flooded with these warnings, as they are commonly invoked by inline functions of networking headers, e.g. include/linux/skbuff.h:1426:26: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align] The compiler is correct to point this out, as we are dealing with undefined behavior that does cause problems in practice, but there is also no good way to rewrite the code in commonly included headers to a safer method.

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.
