genksyms: fix syntax error for attribute after 'struct'
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__ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.i
$ cat arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.i | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w
[ snip ]
./arch/x86/include/asm/svm.h:122: syntax error
The syntax error occurs in the following code in arch/x86/include/asm/svm.h:
struct __attribute__ ((__packed__)) vmcb_control_area {
[ snip ]
};
The issue arises from __attribute__ immediately after the 'struct'
keyword.
This commit allows the 'struct' keyword to be followed by attributes.
The lexer must be adjusted because dont_want_brace_phase should not be
decremented while processing attributes.
