Introduce underlying __TRAILING_OVERLAP() macro to let callers apply
atributes to trailing overlapping members.
For instance, the code below:
| struct flex {
| size_t count;
| int data[];
| };
| struct {
| struct flex f;
| struct foo a;
| struct boo b;
| } __packed instance;
can now be changed to the following, and preserve the __packed
attribute:
| __TRAILING_OVERLAP(struct flex, f, data, __packed,
| struct foo a;
| struct boo b;
| ) instance;

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 reStructuredText 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.
