In my experience, how attributes are "merged" upon redeclaration is
kind of a disaster fest.  Adding new attributes to clang has a fair
amount of boilerplate because "what should happen when something is
redeclared w/ AND w/o the attribute" is a question that the code
reviewers (who also generally happens to be the clang code owner who
had ISO WG14 standardize attributes for C23) force authors to think
about.  The semantics for some must match the compiler that initially
implemented them for compatibility.

This is the method in clang that's emitting that diagnostic:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/1034688d58783779168d59b47d2b3e897ad869c6/clang/lib/Sema/SemaDecl.cpp#L3133
As you can see above the line I highlighted, there are different rules
for different attributes, some even dependent on the language mode (C
vs C++).  And that's not all of the logic for function attribute
"merging" upon redeclaration that's alluded to in comments of that
function.

I think this example demonstrates a little clearer what's going on:
https://godbolt.org/z/9d6scv1hE

So based on the warning, it seems like symbol_get() can only be used
before the parameter it's passed is defined, otherwise the "weak" and
"visibility(hidden)" attributes are ignored.  These attributes are
merge-able upon redeclaration up until the first definition.

If the definition of vfio_file_iommu_group() is visible to
virt/kvm/vfio.c, do we even need this weak+hidden redeclaration?

Fixes the error for me in -next (can't repro on mainline):
$ wget https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20230825/202308251949.5IiaV0sz-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/config
-O .config
$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=powerpc -j128 olddefconfig
arch/powerpc/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/vfio.o

The vmlinux target also builds with that change for that randconfig
the bot unearthed.

The all target hits
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1601 (see below).

But I'll admit I don't fully understand the implications of that
change.  Whenever I see weak symbols I get suspicious, especially for
a kernel that's heavily configurable; usually providing a definition
per config can accomplish what we sometimes use weak linkage for.  At
the least, it makes it obvious at build time what definition will be
observed at runtime; not so for weak symbols.

Also, vfio_file_iommu_group() has two different declarations based on
CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP, which is probably how the bot's randconfig dug this
up. Should my diff above be preprocessor-conditional on that config?
Or should that function be doing something else in case
CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP is not set?

$ grep -rn CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP .config
$ echo $?
1

So the bot's randconfig is reporting an issue specific to
CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP=n where a static inline definition is provided as
the declaration, hence the warning.

The following does not work; the diagnostics are still observed.
```
diff --git a/virt/kvm/vfio.c b/virt/kvm/vfio.c

Thought that then makes me think that perhaps even better would be
some sort of Kconfig dependency expressed between
CONFIG_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU and CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP.

Though I do see:
drivers/vfio/Kconfig
7:      select VFIO_GROUP if SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU || IOMMUFD=n

Perhaps something is wrong with that, and randconfig is able to tickle
IOMMUFD=n and still set VFIO_GROUP without SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU.
$ grep -rn -e CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP -e CONFIG_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU -e
CONFIG_VFIO_GROUP .config
4678:CONFIG_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU=y

Yi, any thoughts on the above?

So it looks like in CI we build+boot test the following configs:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/blob/32a9db9c4a4b4950407dfceb4bd4c36bf7a6ac4e/generator.yml#L2686
- ppc44x_defconfig
- ppc64_guest_defconfig
- allmodconfig
- fedora's ppc config
- suse's ppc config

I just tried simply defconfig and ran into some hermiticity issues
with the kbuild rules for their vdso:
