If a global function doesn't return, and its prototype has the __noreturn attribute, its weak counterpart must also not return so that it matches the prototype and meets call site expectations. To properly follow the compiled control flow at the call sites, change the global_noreturns check to include both global and weak functions. On the other hand, if a weak function isn't in global_noreturns, assume the prototype doesn't have __noreturn. Even if the weak function doesn't return, call sites treat it like a returnable function.

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.
