Merge branch 'gcc-min-version-5.1' (make gcc-5.1 the minimum version)

2021-09-13T17:43:04+00:00

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc version to 5.1. This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before. Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem. The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on. We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a good thing. I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that we no longer support gcc-4.x. As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does _not_ yet do that.

Drop some straggling mentions of gcc-4.9 as being stale

2021-09-13T17:29:44+00:00

Fix up the admin-guide README file to the new gcc-5.1 requirement, and remove a stale comment about gcc support for the __assume_aligned__ attribute. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

compiler_attributes.h: drop __has_attribute() support for gcc4

2021-09-13T17:20:01+00:00

Now that GCC 5.1 is the minimally supported default, the manual workaround for older gcc versions not having __has_attribute() are no longer relevant and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Clang 14 will add support for __attribute__((__error__(""))) and __attribute__((__warning__(""))). To make use of these in __compiletime_error and __compiletime_warning (as used by BUILD_BUG and friends) for newer clang and detect/fallback for older versions of clang, move these to compiler_attributes.h and guard them with __has_attribute preprocessor guards.

compiler_attributes.h: cleanups for GCC 4.9+

2021-06-22T18:05:35+00:00

Since commit 6ec4476ac825 ("Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9") we no longer support building the kernel with GCC 4.8; drop the preprocess checks for __GNUC_MINOR__ version. It's implied that if __GNUC_MAJOR__ is 4, then the only supported version of __GNUC_MINOR__ left is 9.

compiler_attributes.h: define __no_profile, add to noinstr

2021-06-22T18:00:30+00:00

noinstr implies that we would like the compiler to avoid instrumenting a function. Add support for the compiler attribute no_profile_instrument_function to compiler_attributes.h, then add __no_profile to the definition of noinstr.
