Masahiro Yamada 3a176b9460 Revert "kbuild: avoid static_assert for genksyms" 
This reverts commit 14dc3983b5.

Macro Elver had sent a fix proper fix earlier, and also pointed out
corner cases:
 "I guess what you propose is simpler, but might still have corner cases
  where we still get warnings. In particular, if some file (for whatever
  reason) does not include build_bug.h and uses a raw _Static_assert(),
  then we still get warnings. E.g. I see 1 user of raw _Static_assert()
  (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgv_sriovmsg.h )."

I believe the raw use of _Static_assert() should be allowed, so this
should be fixed in genksyms.

Even after commit 14dc3983b5 ("kbuild: avoid static_assert for
genksyms"), I confirmed the following test code emits the warning.

  ---------------->8----------------
  #include <linux/export.h>

  _Static_assert((1 ?: 0), "");

  void foo(void) { }
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
  ---------------->8----------------

  WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "foo" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.

Now that commit 869b91992bce ("genksyms: Ignore module scoped
_Static_assert()") fixed this issue properly, the workaround should
be reverted.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
