genksyms: fix syntax error for attribute after 'union'
A longstanding issue with genksyms is that it has hidden syntax errors. When a syntax error occurs, yyerror() is called. However, error_with_pos() is a no-op unless the -w option is provided. You can observe syntax errors by manually passing the -w option. For example, with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y on v6.13-rc1: $ make -s KCFLAGS=-D__GENKSYMS__ fs/lockd/svc.i $ cat fs/lockd/svc.i | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w [ snip ] ./include/net/addrconf.h:35: syntax error The syntax error occurs in the following code in include/net/addrconf.h: union __packed { [ snip ] }; The issue arises from __packed, which is defined as __attribute__((__packed__)), immediately after the 'union' keyword. This commit allows the 'union' keyword to be followed by attributes. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Schier <n.schier@avm.de>
