[PATCH] netfilter: xt_TPROXY: fix clang -Wformat warnings:
From: Justin Stitt
Date: Thu Jul 07 2022 - 15:18:26 EST
When building with Clang we encounter these warnings:
| net/netfilter/xt_TPROXY.c:173:5: error: format specifies type 'unsigned
| char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat] tproto,
| &iph->saddr, ntohs(hp->source),
-
| net/netfilter/xt_TPROXY.c:181:4: error: format specifies type 'unsigned
| char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat] tproto,
| &iph->saddr, ntohs(hp->source),
The format specifier `%hhu` refers to a u8 while tproto is an int. In
this case we weren't losing any data because ipv6_find_hdr returns an
int but its return value (nexthdr) is a u8. This u8 gets widened to an
int when returned from ipv6_find_hdr and assigned to tproto. The
previous format specifier is functionally fine but still produces a
warning due to a type mismatch.
The fix is simply to listen to Clang and change `%hhu` to `%d` for both
instances of the warning.

It should be noted that for this entire file to build without -Wformat
warnings you should apply this `ntohs` patch which fixed many, many
-Wformat warnings in the kernel.
