Subject: Kbuild: use -std=gnu11 for KBUILD_USERCFLAGS
Git-commit: 1e24078113ae69c741cb1b03375a9f1490db7308
Patch-mainline: 5.18-rc1
References: bsc#1204877
As we change the C language standard for the kernel from gnu89 to
gnu11, it makes sense to also update the version for user space
compilation.
Some users have older native compilers than what they use for
kernel builds, so I considered using gnu99 as the default version
for wider compatibility with gcc-4.6 and earlier.
However, testing with older compilers showed that we already require
HOSTCC version 5.1 as well because a lot of host tools include
linux/compiler.h that uses __has_attribute():
CC tools/objtool/exec-cmd.o
