This is one of many instances:

./include/linux/pagemap.h:554:10: warning: value size does not match register size specified by the constraint and modifier [-Wasm-operand-widths]
                return __put_user(0, end);
                       ^
./arch/arm64/include/asm/uaccess.h:338:2: note: expanded from macro '__put_user'
        __put_user_err((x), (ptr), __pu_err);                           \
        ^

                                                   ^

'end' is a char pointer, it is not clear to me why we would end up in
the width == 8 branch.
