Handle a GCC quirk of emitting extra volatile modifier in DWARF (and
subsequently preserved in BTF by pahole) for function pointers marked as
__attribute__((noreturn)). This was the way to mark such functions before GCC
2.5 added noreturn attribute. Drop such func_proto modifiers, similarly to how
it's done for array (also to handle GCC quirk/bug).
Such volatile attribute is emitted by GCC only, so existing selftests can't
express such test. Simple repro is like this (compiled with GCC + BTF
generated by pahole):
struct my_struct {
void __attribute__((noreturn)) (*fn)(int);
};
struct my_struct a;
Without this fix, output will be:
struct my_struct {
voidvolatile (*fn)(int);
};
With the fix:
struct my_struct {
void (*fn)(int);
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
