[PATCH 1/1] kernel: Used macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))

From: Gideon Israel Dsouza
Date: Sun Feb 09 2014 - 02:24:46 EST


To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak
for __attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc
attributes with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.
