[PATCH 1/3] Add option to disable NORETURN

Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

From: Junio C Hamano <redacted>

Due to a bug in gcc 4.6+ it can crash when doing profile feedback
with a noreturn function pointer

(http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49299)

This adds a Makefile variable to disable noreturns.

[Patch by Junio, description by Andi Kleen]
