Subject: [PATCH 4.9 75/83] lib/ubsan.c: dont mark __ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable as noreturn

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit 1c23b4108d716cc848b38532063a8aca4f86add8 upstream.

gcc-8 complains about the prototype for this function:

  lib/ubsan.c:432:1: error: ignoring attribute 'noreturn' in declaration of a built-in function '__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable' because it conflicts with attribute 'const' [-Werror=attributes]

This is actually a GCC's bug. In GCC internals
__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable() declared with both 'noreturn' and
'const' attributes instead of only 'noreturn':

   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84210

Workaround this by removing the noreturn attribute.

[aryabinin: add information about GCC bug in changelog]
