Jonathan Wakely 8a9a593115 Add alloc_align attribute to memalign et al
GCC 4.9.0 added the alloc_align attribute to say that a function
argument specifies the alignment of the returned pointer. Clang supports
the attribute too. Using the attribute can allow a compiler to generate
better code if it knows the returned pointer has a minimum alignment.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60092 for more details.

GCC implicitly knows the semantics of aligned_alloc and posix_memalign,
but not the obsolete memalign. As a result, GCC generates worse code
when memalign is used, compared to aligned_alloc.  Clang knows about
aligned_alloc and memalign, but not posix_memalign.

This change adds a new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro to <sys/cdefs.h>
and then uses it on memalign (where it helps GCC) and aligned_alloc
(where GCC and Clang already know the semantics, but it doesn't hurt)
and xposix_memalign. It can't be used on posix_memalign because that
doesn't return a pointer (the allocated pointer is returned via a void**
parameter instead).

Unlike the alloc_size attribute, alloc_align only allows a single
argument. That means the new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro doesn't
really need to be used with double parentheses to protect a comma
between its arguments. For consistency with __attribute_alloc_size__
this patch defines it the same way, so that double parentheses are
required.
