r369217 in clang added a new warning about potential misuse of the xor
operator as an exponentiation operator:
../lib/test_bpf.c:870:13: warning: result of '10 ^ 300' is 294; did you
mean '1e300'? [-Wxor-used-as-pow]
{ { 4, 10 ^ 300 }, { 20, 10 ^ 300 } },
~~~^~~~~
1e300
../lib/test_bpf.c:870:13: note: replace expression with '0xA ^ 300' to
silence this warning
../lib/test_bpf.c:870:31: warning: result of '10 ^ 300' is 294; did you
mean '1e300'? [-Wxor-used-as-pow]
{ { 4, 10 ^ 300 }, { 20, 10 ^ 300 } },
~~~^~~~~
1e300
../lib/test_bpf.c:870:31: note: replace expression with '0xA ^ 300' to
silence this warning
The commit link for this new warning has some good logic behind wanting
to add it but this instance appears to be a false positive. Adopt its
suggestion to silence the warning but not change the code. According to
the differential review link in the clang commit, GCC may eventually
adopt this warning as well.

README
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.
