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 ensuing patch fixes this issue and aligns the declaration of empty_zero_page to that of other architectures. Thank you. Cheers, Orlando.
