Mark Charlebois 0283f9a529 module: LLVMLinux: Remove unused function warning from __param_check macro
This code makes a compile time type check that is optimized away. Clang
complains that it generates an unused function:

linux/kernel/panic.c:471:1: warning: unused function '__check_panic'
      [-Wunused-function]
core_param(panic, panic_timeout, int, 0644);
^
linux/moduleparam.h:283:2: note: expanded from macro
      'core_param'
        param_check_##type(name, &(var));                               \
        ^
<scratch space>:87:1: note: expanded from here
param_check_int
^
linux/moduleparam.h:369:34: note: expanded from macro
      'param_check_int'
#define param_check_int(name, p) __param_check(name, p, int)
                                 ^
linux/moduleparam.h:349:22: note: expanded from macro
      '__param_check'
        static inline type *__check_##name(void) { return(p); }
                            ^
<scratch space>:88:1: note: expanded from here
__check_panic

GCC won't complain for a static inline function but would if it was just
a static function.

Adding the unused attribute to the function declaration removes the warning.
Per request from Rusty Russell it is marked as __always_unused as the code
is meant to be optimized away.

This code works for both GCC and clang.
