commit c0d9782f5b6d7157635ae2fd782a4b27d55a6013 upstream.
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.

[ Upstream commit 04f264d3a8b0eb25d378127bd78c3c9a0261c828 ]
We have a need to override the definition of
barrier_before_unreachable() for MIPS, which means we either need to add
architecture-specific code into linux/compiler-gcc.h or we need to allow
the architecture to provide a header that can define the macro before
the generic definition. The latter seems like the better approach.
A straightforward approach to the per-arch header is to make use of
asm-generic to provide a default empty header & adjust architectures
which don't need anything specific to make use of that by adding the
header to generic-y. Unfortunately this doesn't work so well due to
commit 28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed
struct attributes") which caused linux/compiler_types.h to be included
in the compilation of every C file via the -include linux/kconfig.h flag
in c_flags.
Because the -include flag is present for all C files we compile, we need
the architecture-provided header to be present before any C files are
compiled. If any C files can be compiled prior to the asm-generic header
wrappers being generated then we hit a build failure due to missing
header. Such cases do exist - one pointed out by the kbuild test robot
is the compilation of arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c, which occurs as part
of the archprepare target [1].
This leaves us with a few options:
1) Use generic-y & fix any build failures we find by enforcing
ordering such that the asm-generic target occurs before any C
compilation, such that linux/compiler_types.h can always include
the generated asm-generic wrapper which in turn includes the empty
asm-generic header. This would rely on us finding all the
problematic cases - I don't know for sure that the ia64 issue is
the only one.
2) Add an actual empty header to each architecture, so that we don't
need the generated asm-generic wrapper. This seems messy.
3) Give up & add #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS or similar to
linux/compiler_types.h. This seems messy too.
4) Include the arch header only when it's actually needed, removing
the need for the asm-generic wrapper for all other architectures.
This patch allows us to use approach 4, by including an asm/compiler.h
header from linux/compiler_types.h after the inclusion of the
compiler-specific linux/compiler-*.h header(s). We do this
conditionally, only when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H is selected, in
order to avoid the need for asm-generic wrappers & the associated build
ordering issue described above. The asm/compiler.h header is included
after the generic linux/compiler-*.h header(s) for consistency with the
way linux/compiler-intel.h & linux/compiler-clang.h are included after
the linux/compiler-gcc.h header that they override.

commit d15155824c5014803d91b829736d249c500bdda6 upstream.
linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h
-> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
offsetof.
Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
such as:
In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
>> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
^
A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
(e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.
This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().
uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.
