Greetings,

GCC 7 introduced the -Wstringop-overflow flag to detect buffer overflows
in calls to string handling functions [1][2]. Due to the way
``empty_zero_page'' is declared in arch/sparc/include/setup.h, this
causes a warning to trigger at compile time in the function mem_init(),
which is subsequently converted to an error. The attached patch fixes
this issue and aligns the declaration of empty_zero_page to that of
other architectures. Thank you.

Cheers,
Orlando.

Please post patches properly.

They must be inline.

You also must format your Subject line properly, it must be
of the following form:

	Subject: [PATCH $TREE] $SUBSYSTEM: Simplified description.

Here, $TREE would be "sparc" and also $SUBSYSTEM would be "sparc: "

Your subject line description is too lone, simplify it for the
final Subject line.

You also must provide a proper Signoff, as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Thank you.
