Hi,

please consider applying the following two patches from v4.9.y to v4.4.y.

fe5844365ec6 ("Backport minimal compiler_attributes.h to support GCC 9") 2c34c215c102 ("include/linux/module.h: copy __init/__exit attrs to init/cleanup_module") (upstream commit a6e60d84989f)

... to enable compiling v4.4.y with gcc 9.x.

This already works for the most part, but alpha:allmodconfig and arm:allmodconfig fail to compile. The above two patches fix the problem.

Queued up, thanks!

THanks for this, my build results are _much_ nice looking now :)
