GCC 11 warns when a pointer to an uninitialized object is passed to a function that takes a const-qualified argument. This is done on the assumption that most such functions read from the object. For the rare case of a function that doesn't, GCC 11 extended attribute access to add a new mode called none. POSIX pthread_setspecific() is one such rare function that takes a const void* argument but that doesn't read from the object it points to. To suppress the -Wmaybe-uninitialized issued by GCC 11 when the address of an uninitialized object is passed to it (e.g., the result of malloc()), the attached patch #defines __attr_access_none in cdefs.h and uses the macro on the function in sysdeps/htl/pthread.h and sysdeps/nptl/pthread.h.
