From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> genksyms does not know or care about the _Static_assert() built-in, and sometimes falls back to ignoring the later symbols, which causes undefined behavior such as WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. ld: net/ethtool/common.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against `__crc_ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops' can not be used when making a shared object net/ethtool/common.o:(_ftrace_annotated_branch+0x0): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation Redefine static_assert for genksyms to avoid that.
