[PATCH 1/5] Compiler Attributes: update GCC and Clang's `counted_by` URLs

[PATCH 1/5] Compiler Attributes: update GCC and Clang's `counted_by` URLs

[Miguel Ojeda]

Clang 18 was released with support for `counted_by`, thus point to the
documentation now instead of the implementation PR.

Similarly, GCC's bugzilla issue is now closed and GCC has a documentation
page for it.

[PATCH 2/5] Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded version comments for older LLVMs

[Miguel Ojeda]

The kernel upgraded to support only LLVM >= 13 in commit 9c1b86f8ce04
("kbuild: raise the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1"),
thus remove version comments that are not needed anymore.

[PATCH 3/5] Compiler Attributes: add more Clang documentation links

[Miguel Ojeda]

Some more documentation has been written in Clang for some of the
attributes, thus link them.

In some cases, they only have a "No documentation." entry, but at least
they are acknowledged (and documentation may be eventually written).

In one case, the link has been updated instead, since the URI fragment
changed.

For what it's worth, I recall a message on Discourse about trying to
correct this, even if the solution is just to say "it's the same as
GCC":

https://discourse.llvm.org/t/documenting-our-attributes/70019

But I am not sure that really went anywhere :/

[PATCH 4/5] Compiler Attributes: fix formatting of GCC/Clang doc links

[Miguel Ojeda]

Over time, some links have been added that did not follow the formatting
of the rest. Fix it for consistency.

No non-whitespace changes intended.

It might be worth calling out the expected format (aligned on the colon)
since I was initially confused until I looked a little harder :)

Some of the version requirements can be simplified, too.

release.
