To avoid confusing the compiler about possible negative sizes, switch
"ssize" which can never be negative from int to u32. Seen with GCC 13:
../fs/jfs/namei.c: In function 'jfs_symlink': ../include/linux/fortify-string.h:57:33: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' pointer overflow between offset 0 and size [-2147483648, -1]
[-Warray-bounds=]
57 | #define __underlying_memcpy __builtin_memcpy
| ^
...
../fs/jfs/namei.c:950:17: note: in expansion of macro 'memcpy'
950 | memcpy(ip->i_link, name, ssize);

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.
