selftests: kselftest: Mark functions that unconditionally call exit() as __noreturn
After commit 6d029c25 ("selftests/timers/posix_timers: Reimplement check_timer_distribution()"), clang warns: tools/testing/selftests/timers/../kselftest.h:398:6: warning: variable 'major' is used uninitialized whenever '||' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] 398 | if (uname(&info) || sscanf(info.release, "%u.%u.", &major, &minor) != 2) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ tools/testing/selftests/timers/../kselftest.h:401:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here 401 | return major > min_major || (major == min_major && minor >= min_minor); | ^~~~~ tools/testing/selftests/timers/../kselftest.h:398:6: note: remove the '||' if its condition is always false 398 | if (uname(&info) || sscanf(info.release, "%u.%u.", &major, &minor) != 2) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tools/testing/selftests/timers/../kselftest.h:395:20: note: initialize the variable 'major' to silence this warning 395 | unsigned int major, minor; | ^ | = 0 This is a false positive because if uname() fails, ksft_exit_fail_msg() will be called, which unconditionally calls exit(), a noreturn function. However, clang does not know that ksft_exit_fail_msg() will call exit() at the point in the pipeline that the warning is emitted because inlining has not occurred, so it assumes control flow will resume normally after ksft_exit_fail_msg() is called. Make it clear to clang that all of the functions that call exit() unconditionally in kselftest.h are noreturn transitively by marking them explicitly with '__attribute__((__noreturn__))', which clears up the warning above and any future warnings that may appear for the same reason.
