[PATCH v2 1/2] Compiler Attributes: naked was fixed in gcc 4.6

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Tue Sep 18 2018 - 12:56:58 EST


Commit 9c695203a7dd ("compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone
and noinline on __naked functions") added noinline and noclone
as a workaround for a gcc 4.5 bug, which was resolved in 4.6.0.

Since now the minimum gcc supported version is 4.6,
we can clean it up.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44290
and https://godbolt.org/z/h6NMIL
