I encounter the following issue when compiling 5.15-rc4 with clang-14:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu/spte.h:318:9: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

The warning is wrong, as mentioned in the line right above:

So it's an issue with clang-14 then?
(I add Nick and Nathan)

My clang here doesn't have the option, so I'm going to ask---are you using W=1? I can see why clang is warning for KVM's code, but in my opinion such a check should only be in -Wextra.
