I haven't upgraded sparse yet, but I've been playing with make W=1 lately,
using gcc 9.2. On v5.5-rc1, I see the following warnings:

I suppose the __cvdso_clock_getres warning is fixed in v5.6?

This should be fixed in 5.5 went via tip/urgent.

The other warnings might be false positives?

Yes, this is correct.
