As reported by Mirsad [1] we still see format warnings in kernel/bpf/btf.o
at W=1 warning level:
CC kernel/bpf/btf.o
./kernel/bpf/btf.c: In function ‘btf_type_seq_show_flags’:
./kernel/bpf/btf.c:7553:21: warning: assignment left-hand side might be a candidate for a format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
7553 | sseq.showfn = btf_seq_show;
| ^
./kernel/bpf/btf.c: In function ‘btf_type_snprintf_show’:
./kernel/bpf/btf.c:7604:31: warning: assignment left-hand side might be a candidate for a format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
7604 | ssnprintf.show.showfn = btf_snprintf_show;
| ^
Combined with CONFIG_WERROR=y these can halt the build.
The fix (annotating the structure field with __printf())
suggested by Mirsad resolves these. Apologies I missed this last time.
No other W=1 warnings were observed in kernel/bpf after this fix.

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 reStructuredText 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.
