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.
