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.
