I believe the missing action here is a bug.
For rules with no explicit action, the following default is used:
{ $$ = $1; }
However, in this case, $1 is the value of attribute_opt itself. As a
result, the value of attribute_opt is always NULL.
The following test code demonstrates inconsistent behavior.
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
The attribute is recorded only when followed by an initializer.
This commit adds the correct action to propagate the value of the
ATTRIBUTE_PHRASE token.
With this change, the attribute in the example above is consistently
recorded for both 'x' and 'y'.
[Before]
$ cat <<EOF | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -d
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
EOF
Defn for type0 x == <int x >
Defn for type0 y == <int y __attribute__ ( ( __aligned__ ( 4 ) ) ) >
Hash table occupancy 2/4096 = 0.000488281
[After]
$ cat <<EOF | scripts/genksyms/genksyms -d
int x __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
int y __attribute__((__aligned__(4))) = 0;
EOF
Defn for type0 x == <int x __attribute__ ( ( __aligned__ ( 4 ) ) ) >
Defn for type0 y == <int y __attribute__ ( ( __aligned__ ( 4 ) ) ) >
Hash table occupancy 2/4096 = 0.000488281

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.
