libbpf: Handle GCC noreturn-turned-volatile quirk
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); }; Fixes: 351131b51c7a ("libbpf: add btf_dump API for BTF-to-C conversion") Reported-by: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Tested-by: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200610052335.2862559-1-andriin@fb.com
