genksyms: fix syntax error for attribute before abstract_declarator
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__ init/main.i
$ cat init/main.i | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w
[ snip ]
./include/linux/efi.h:1225: syntax error
The syntax error occurs in the following code in include/linux/efi.h:
efi_status_t
efi_call_acpi_prm_handler(efi_status_t (__efiapi *handler_addr)(u64, void *),
u64 param_buffer_addr, void *context);
The issue arises from __efiapi, which is defined as either
__attribute__((ms_abi)) or __attribute__((regparm(0))).
This commit allows abstract_declarator to be prefixed with attributes.
To avoid conflicts, I tweaked the rule for decl_specifier_seq. Due to
this change, a standalone attribute cannot become decl_specifier_seq.
Otherwise, I do not know how to resolve the conflicts.
The following code, which was previously accepted by genksyms, will now
result in a syntax error:
void my_func(__attribute__((unused))x);
I do not think it is a big deal because GCC also fails to parse it.
$ echo 'void my_func(__attribute__((unused))x);' | gcc -c -x c -
<stdin>:1:37: error: unknown type name 'x'
