clang-7 has a new warning (-Wreturn-stack-address) for warning when a function returns the address of a local variable. This is in general a good warning, but the kernel has a few places where GNU statement expressions return the address of a label in order to get the current instruction pointer (see _THIS_IP_ and current_text_addr). In order to disable a warning at a single call site, the kernel already has __diag macros for inserting compiler and compiler-version specific _Pragma's. This series adds CLANG_VERSION macros necessary for proper __diag support, and whitelists the case in _THIS_IP_. current_text_addr will be consolidated in a follow up series.
