This reverts commit14dc3983b5. 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 commit14dc3983b5("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.

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.
