Heiko Carstens fc19e23168 Compiler Attributes: Add __uninitialized macro 
commit fd7eea27a3 upstream.

With INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO enabled the kernel will
be compiled with -ftrivial-auto-var-init=<...> which causes initialization
of stack variables at function entry time.

In order to avoid the performance impact that comes with this users can use
the "uninitialized" attribute to prevent such initialization.

Therefore provide the __uninitialized macro which can be used for cases
where INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled, but only
selected variables should not be initialized.

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.
