Subject: [GIT PULL] compiler-attributes for v4.20

Hi Linus,

I picked this one up even if it is not exactly compiler-attributes.

I would like if you can take a look at the patch, please. The patch is harmless
for the kernel, but v4.19 was released with a few macros exposed to userspace
as the patch explains; which this removes, so it *could* happen that we break
something for someone (although leaving inline redefined is probably worse).

Greg said he would want to pick this if this ends up in your tree.

The patch has been in linux-next for a few days.

Cheers,
Miguel
