New Revision: 312942
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/312942

Log:
  Remove GCC's __nonnull() attribute definition.
  
  While GCC's __nonnull__ attribute is generally useful to prevent misuse of
  some functions it also tends to do rather dangerous "optimizations". Now
  that we have replaced (r312934) all such uses with the clang nullability
  qualifiers, the GCC attribute is unnecessary.
  
  Remove the definition completely to prevent its use in system's headers.
