Sadly, I don't think linux-next checks for warnings.

I really want to enable -Werror at some point, but every time I think
I should, I just end up worrying about another random new compiler (or
a random old one).

We do have -Werror in various configurations (and in some sub-trees).

This is actually just bog-standard gcc-11.2 from F34, and an allmodconfig build.

There were lots of other ones too, I just pasted a small subset. Thne
full error log was 400+ lines. Most of those lines are just because of
the very verbose warnings.

Three errors due to "-Werror=unused-value", but 17 each of variations on

    error: call to ‘__read_overflow’ declared with attribute error:
detected read beyond size of object (1st parameter)

and

    warning: unsafe xyz() usage lacked '__read_overflow' warning

warnings.

Full 400+ lines (25kB) of errors/warnings messages attached in case
you care about the whole thing and can't easily reproduce.
