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__ kernel/module/main.i $ cat kernel/module/main.i | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w [ snip ] kernel/module/main.c:97: syntax error The syntax error occurs in the following code in kernel/module/main.c: static void __mod_update_bounds(enum mod_mem_type type __maybe_unused, void *base, unsigned int size, struct mod_tree_root *tree) { [ snip ] } The issue arises from __maybe_unused, which is defined as __attribute__((__unused__)). This commit allows direct_abstract_declarator to be followed with attributes.
