Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
fallthrough devolves to an empty "do {} while (0)" if the compiler
version (any version less than gcc 7) does not support the attribute.

From the GCC manual:
copy
copy(function)
The copy attribute applies the set of attributes with which function
has been declared to the declaration of the function to which
the attribute is applied. The attribute is designed for libraries
that define aliases or function resolvers that are expected
to specify the same set of attributes as their targets. The copy
attribute can be used with functions, variables, or types. However,
the kind of symbol to which the attribute is applied (either
function or variable) must match the kind of symbol to which
the argument refers. The copy attribute copies only syntactic and
semantic attributes but not attributes that affect a symbol’s
linkage or visibility such as alias, visibility, or weak.
The deprecated attribute is also not copied.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html
The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings
(enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function
attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target, e.g.:
void __cold f(void) {}
void __alias("f") g(void);
diagnoses:
warning: 'g' specifies less restrictive attribute than
its target 'f': 'cold' [-Wmissing-attributes]
Using __copy(f) we can copy the __cold attribute from f to g:
void __cold f(void) {}
void __copy(f) __alias("f") g(void);
This attribute is most useful to deal with situations where an alias
is declared but we don't know the exact attributes the target has.
For instance, in the kernel, the widely used module_init/exit macros
define the init/cleanup_module aliases, but those cannot be marked
always as __init/__exit since some modules do not have their
functions marked as such.

This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two:
1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one
that exists now);
2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode.
The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have
another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory
tagging support in arm64.
With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to
instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones
for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set).
Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes.
This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of
tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts
common hooks implementation.
While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option
is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will
enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.

The -ftracer optimization was disabled in __noclone as a workaround to
GCC duplicating a blob of inline assembly that happened to define a
global variable. It has been pointed out that no amount of workarounds
can guarantee the compiler won't duplicate inline assembly[1], and that
disabling the -ftracer optimization has several unintended and nasty
side effects[2][3].
Now that the offending KVM code which required the workaround has
been properly fixed and no longer uses __noclone, remove the -ftracer
optimization tweak from __noclone.

Explain better what "optional" attributes are, and avoid calling
them so to avoid confusion. Simply retain "Optional" as a word
to look for in the comments.
Moreover, add a couple sentences to explain a bit more the intention
and the documentation links.

From the GCC manual:
nonstring
The nonstring variable attribute specifies that an object or member
declaration with type array of char, signed char, or unsigned char,
or pointer to such a type is intended to store character arrays that
do not necessarily contain a terminating NUL. This is useful in detecting
uses of such arrays or pointers with functions that expect NUL-terminated
strings, and to avoid warnings when such an array or pointer is used as
an argument to a bounded string manipulation function such as strncpy.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html
This attribute can be used for documentation purposes (i.e. replacing
comments), but it is most helpful when the following warnings are enabled:
-Wstringop-overflow
Warn for calls to string manipulation functions such as memcpy and
strcpy that are determined to overflow the destination buffer.
[...]
-Wstringop-truncation
Warn for calls to bounded string manipulation functions such as
strncat, strncpy, and stpncpy that may either truncate the copied
string or leave the destination unchanged.
[...]
In situations where a character array is intended to store a sequence
of bytes with no terminating NUL such an array may be annotated with
attribute nonstring to avoid this warning. Such arrays, however,
are not suitable arguments to functions that expect NUL-terminated
strings. To help detect accidental misuses of such arrays GCC issues
warnings unless it can prove that the use is safe.

Instead of using version checks per-compiler to define (or not)
each attribute, use __has_attribute to test for them, following
the cleanup started with commit 815f0ddb34
("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive"),
which is supported on gcc >= 5, clang >= 2.9 and icc >= 17.
In the meantime, to support 4.6 <= gcc < 5, we implement
__has_attribute by hand.
All the attributes that can be unconditionally defined and directly
map to compiler attribute(s) (even if optional) have been moved
to a new file include/linux/compiler_attributes.h
In an effort to make the file as regular as possible, comments
stating the purpose of attributes have been removed. Instead,
links to the compiler docs have been added (i.e. to gcc and,
if available, to clang as well). In addition, they have been sorted.
Finally, if an attribute is optional (i.e. if it is guarded
by __has_attribute), the reason has been stated for future reference.
