Do those function attributes actually work? Because the last time I
played with some of that I didn't.

Specifically: unmarked __always_inline functions must not generate
instrumentation when they're inlined into a __no_*san function.

(and that fails to build on some GCC versions, and I think fails to
actually work on the rest of them, but I'd have to double check)

Right; so all of GCC is broken vs that function attribute stuff? Any
plans of getting that fixed? Do we have GCC that care?

Does the GCC plugin approach sound like a viable alternative
implementation of all this?

Anyway, we can make it:

KASAN := SANITIZER_HAS_FUNCTION_ATTRIBUTES

or something, and only make that 'y' when the compiler is sane.

If you're going to do patches anyway, might as well do that :-)
