Currently Sparse warns the following when compiling kernel/capability.c:
kernel/capability.c:191:35: warning: incorrect type in argument 2
(different address spaces)
kernel/capability.c:191:35: expected void const *from
kernel/capability.c:191:35: got struct __user_cap_data_struct
[noderef] __user *
kernel/capability.c:168:14: warning: dereference of noderef expression
...... (multiple noderef warnings on different locations)
kernel/capability.c:244:29: warning: incorrect type in argument 1
(different address spaces)
kernel/capability.c:244:29: expected void *to
kernel/capability.c:244:29: got struct __user_cap_data_struct
[noderef] __user ( * )[2]
kernel/capability.c:247:42: warning: dereference of noderef expression
...... (multiple noderef warnings on different locations)
It seems that defining `struct __user_cap_data_struct` together with
`cap_user_data_t` make Sparse believe that the struct is `noderef` as
well. Separate their definitions to clarify their respective attributes.

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.
