i think a no-lto attr should be used, maybe noinline
can achieve that.
no-instrumentation attrs are ugly because new
instrumentations may appear in new compilers and then
your code becomes decorated.
(libc does not work with asan instrumentation anyway
without serious changes and asan runtime implementation
inside the libc)
