genksyms: fix syntax error for attribute before init-declarator
A longstanding issue with genksyms is that it has hidden syntax errors.
For example, genksyms fails to parse the following valid code:
int x, __attribute__((__section__(".init.data")))y;
Here, only 'y' is annotated by the attribute, although I am not aware
of actual uses of this pattern in the kernel tree.
When a syntax error occurs, yyerror() is called. However,
error_with_pos() is a no-op unless the -w option is provided.
You can observe syntax errors by manually passing the -w option.
$ echo 'int x, __attribute__((__section__(".init.data")))y;' | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -w
<stdin>:1: syntax error
This commit allows attributes to be placed between a comma and
init_declarator.

genksyms: record attributes consistently for init-declarator
I believe the missing action here is a bug.
For rules with no explicit action, the following default is used:
{ $$ = $1; }
However, in this case, $1 is the value of attribute_opt itself. As a
result, the value of attribute_opt is always NULL.
The following test code demonstrates inconsistent behavior.
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
The attribute is recorded only when followed by an initializer.
This commit adds the correct action to propagate the value of the
ATTRIBUTE_PHRASE token.
With this change, the attribute in the example above is consistently
recorded for both 'x' and 'y'.

genksyms: restrict direct-abstract-declarator to take one parameter-type-list
While there is no more grammatical ambiguity in genksyms, the parser

For example, genksyms accepts the following invalid C code:
void my_func(int ()(int));
This should result in a syntax error because () cannot be reduced to

( <abstract-declarator> ) can be reduced, but <abstract-declarator>
must not be empty in the following grammar from K&R [1]:

Furthermore, genksyms accepts the following weird code:
void my_func(int (*callback)(int)(int)(int));
The parser allows <direct-abstract-declarator> to recursively absorb
multiple ( {<parameter-type-list>}? ), but this behavior is incorrect.
In the example above, (*callback) should be followed by at most one
(int).

genksyms: fix last 3 shift/reduce conflicts
The genksyms parser has ambiguities in its grammar, which are currently
suppressed by a workaround in scripts/genksyms/Makefile.
Building genksyms with W=1 generates the following warnings:
YACC scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.[ch]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 3 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: note: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples
The ambiguity arises when decl_specifier_seq is followed by '(' because
the following two interpretations are possible:
- decl_specifier_seq direct_abstract_declarator '(' parameter_declaration_clause ')'
- decl_specifier_seq '(' abstract_declarator ')'
This issue occurs because the current parser allows an empty string to
be reduced to direct_abstract_declarator, which is incorrect.
K&R [1] explains the correct grammar:
<parameter-declaration> ::= {<declaration-specifier>}+ <declarator>
| {<declaration-specifier>}+ <abstract-declarator>
| {<declaration-specifier>}+
<abstract-declarator> ::= <pointer>
| <pointer> <direct-abstract-declarator>
| <direct-abstract-declarator>
<direct-abstract-declarator> ::= ( <abstract-declarator> )
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? [ {<constant-expression>}? ]
| {<direct-abstract-declarator>}? ( {<parameter-type-list>}? )
This commit resolves all remaining conflicts.
We need to consider the difference between the following two examples:
[Example 1] ( <abstract-declarator> ) can become <direct-abstract-declarator>
void my_func(int (foo));
... is equivalent to:
void my_func(int foo);
[Example 2] ( <parameter-type-list> ) can become <direct-abstract-declarator>
typedef int foo;
void my_func(int (foo));
... is equivalent to:
void my_func(int (*callback)(int));
Please note that the function declaration is identical in both examples,
but the preceding typedef creates the distinction. I introduced a new
term, open_paren, to enable the type lookup immediately after the '('
token. Without this, we cannot distinguish between [Example 1] and
[Example 2].

genksyms: fix 6 shift/reduce conflicts and 5 reduce/reduce conflicts
The genksyms parser has ambiguities in its grammar, which are currently

scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 5 reduce/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-rr]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: note: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples
The comment in the parser describes the current problem:
/* This wasn't really a typedef name but an identifier that
shadows one. */
Consider the following simple C code:
typedef int foo;
void my_func(foo foo) {}
In the function parameter list (foo foo), the first 'foo' is a type
specifier (typedef'ed as 'int'), while the second 'foo' is an identifier.
However, the lexer cannot distinguish between the two. Since 'foo' is
already typedef'ed, the lexer returns TYPE for both instances, instead
of returning IDENT for the second one.
To support shadowed identifiers, TYPE can be reduced to either a
simple_type_specifier or a direct_abstract_declarator, which creates
a grammatical ambiguity.
Without analyzing the grammar context, it is very difficult to resolve
this correctly.
This commit introduces a flag, dont_want_type_specifier, which allows
the parser to inform the lexer whether an identifier is expected. When
dont_want_type_specifier is true, the type lookup is suppressed, and
the lexer returns IDENT regardless of any preceding typedef.
After this commit, only 3 shift/reduce conflicts will remain.

genksyms: use uint32_t instead of unsigned long for calculating CRC
Currently, 'unsigned long' is used for intermediate variables when
calculating CRCs.
The size of 'long' differs depending on the architecture: it is 32 bits
on 32-bit architectures and 64 bits on 64-bit architectures.
The CRC values generated by genksyms represent the compatibility of
exported symbols. Therefore, reproducibility is important. In other
words, we need to ensure that the output is the same when the kernel
source is identical, regardless of whether genksyms is running on a
32-bit or 64-bit build machine.
Fortunately, the output from genksyms is not affected by the build
machine's architecture because only the lower 32 bits of the
'unsigned long' variables are used.
To make it even clearer that the CRC calculation is independent of
the build machine's architecture, this commit explicitly uses the
fixed-width type, uint32_t.

genksyms: fix memory leak when the same symbol is read from *.symref file
When a symbol that is already registered is read again from *.symref

$ cat foo.c

void foo(void);
void foo(void) {}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
$ cat foo.symref
foo void foo ( void )

When a symbol is removed from the hash table, it must be freed along
with its ->name and ->defn members. However, sym->name cannot be freed
because it is sometimes shared with node->string, but not always. If
sym->name and node->string share the same memory, free(sym->name) could
lead to a double-free bug.
To resolve this issue, always assign a strdup'ed string to sym->name.
