It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for
non-RCU usage too. Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some
other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper
function that RCU has used.

People are adding `noinline' in various places to prevent excess stack
consumption due to gcc inlining. But once this is done, it is quite unobvious
why the `noinline' is present in the code. We can comment each and every
site, or we can use noinline_for_stack.

The __deprecated marker is quite useful in highlighting the remnants of
old APIs that want removing.
However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the
(usually ancient, bitrotten) code in question is either updated or
deleted.
Thus, like __must_check, add a Kconfig option that permits the silencing
of this compiler warning.
This change mimics the ifdef-ery and Kconfig defaults of MUST_CHECK as
closely as possible.

To be consistent with the use of attributes in the rest of the kernel
replace all use of __attribute_pure__ with __pure and delete the definition
of __attribute_pure__.

gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any
path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc
will try to generate smaller code for the function itself.
Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most
cases it is not worth uglifying code with this.
This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk()
as cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although
we can keep them for now for older compilers.
BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell
gcc to mark a inline function told.
Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os
build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code
for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels,
but that might change in the future.
One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented
to verify them.
Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this.
Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older
snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are
unreleased compilers that nobody should be using.
gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using
this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able
to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os,
if that happens it should be added.
Includes compile fix from Thomas Gleixner.

__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.
__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.
No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.
__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

Change prototypes for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr to take const
void* instead of void*, so that code can pass "const void *" to them.
(Right now sparse does not warn about passing const void* to void*
functions, but that is a separate bug that I believe Josh is working on,
and once sparse does check this, the changed prototypes will be
necessary.)

The lock annotation macros __acquires, __releases, __acquire, and __release
all currently throw away the lock expression passed as an argument. Now
that sparse can parse __context__ and __attribute__((context)) with a
context expression, pass the lock expression down to sparse as the context
expression. This requires a version of sparse from GIT commit
37475a6c1c3e66219e68d912d5eb833f4098fd72 or later.

Currently, __acquire and __release take a lock expression, but __cond_lock
takes only a condition, not the lock acquired if the expression evaluates
to true. Change __cond_lock to accept a lock expression, and change all
the callers to pass in a lock expression.

There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks
and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE. None of the new
SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions. The V4L guys are
very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each
driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on
sneaking in anonymous unions, which are rather nice.
Plus anonymous unions are rather useful.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
