Fixes "Compiler Attributes: add __alloc_size() for better bounds checking" so that the __alloc_size() macro is ignored for function prototypes when generating kerndoc. Avoids warnings like: ./include/linux/slab.h:662: warning: Function parameter or member '1' not described in '__alloc_size' ./include/linux/slab.h:662: warning: Function parameter or member '2' not described in '__alloc_size' ./include/linux/slab.h:662: warning: expecting prototype for kcalloc(). Prototype was for __alloc_size() instead Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/kernel-doc | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/scripts/kernel-doc b/scripts/kernel-doc index cfcb60737957..c123bac28f7a 100755 --- a/scripts/kernel-doc +++ b/scripts/kernel-doc @@ -1789,6 +1789,7 @@ sub dump_function($$) { $prototype =~ s/__weak +//; $prototype =~ s/__sched +//; $prototype =~ s/__printf\s*\(\s*\d*\s*,\s*\d*\s*\) +//; + $prototype =~ s/__alloc_size\s*\(\s*\d+\s*(?:,\s*\d+\s*)?\) +//; my $define = $prototype =~ s/^#\s*define\s+//; #ak added $prototype =~ s/__attribute_const__ +//; $prototype =~ s/__attribute__\s*\(\( -- 2.30.2
