[PATCH] kernel.h: Disable -Wreturn-stack-address for _THIS_IP_

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Mon Jul 30 2018 - 13:06:34 EST


Starting with Clang-7.0, _THIS_IP_ generates -Wreturn-stack-address
warnings for almost every translation unit. In general, I'd prefer to
leave this on (returning the address of a stack allocated variable is in
general a bad idea) and disable it only at whitelisted call sites.

We can't do something like:
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wreturn-stack-address"
<code>
#pragma clang diagnostic pop

in a GNU Statement Expression or macro, hence we use _Pragma, which is
its raison d'Ãtre: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Pragmas.html
