    linkage: Introduce new macros for assembler symbols
    
    commit ffedeeb780dc554eff3d3b16e6a462a26a41d7ec upstream.
    
    Introduce new C macros for annotations of functions and data in
    assembly. There is a long-standing mess in macros like ENTRY, END,
    ENDPROC and similar. They are used in different manners and sometimes
    incorrectly.
    
    So introduce macros with clear use to annotate assembly as follows:
    
    a) Support macros for the ones below
       SYM_T_FUNC -- type used by assembler to mark functions
       SYM_T_OBJECT -- type used by assembler to mark data
       SYM_T_NONE -- type used by assembler to mark entries of unknown type
    
       They are defined as STT_FUNC, STT_OBJECT, and STT_NOTYPE
       respectively. According to the gas manual, this is the most portable
       way. I am not sure about other assemblers, so this can be switched
       back to %function and %object if this turns into a problem.
       Architectures can also override them by something like ", @function"
       if they need.
    
       SYM_A_ALIGN, SYM_A_NONE -- align the symbol?
       SYM_L_GLOBAL, SYM_L_WEAK, SYM_L_LOCAL -- linkage of symbols
    
    b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
       SYM_ENTRY -- use only if you have to (for non-paired symbols)
       SYM_START -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)
       SYM_END -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)
    
    c) Annotations for code
       SYM_INNER_LABEL_ALIGN -- only for labels in the middle of code
       SYM_INNER_LABEL -- only for labels in the middle of code
    
       SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
            one function
       SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
            function
       SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed function
    
       SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
       SYM_FUNC_START_NOALIGN -- use for global functions, w/o alignment
       SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
       SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local functions, w/o
            alignment
       SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
       SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_NOALIGN -- use for weak functions, w/o alignment
       SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
            SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...
    
       For functions with special (non-C) calling conventions:
       SYM_CODE_START -- use for non-C (special) functions
       SYM_CODE_START_NOALIGN -- use for non-C (special) functions, w/o
            alignment
       SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL -- use for local non-C (special) functions
       SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local non-C (special)
            functions, w/o alignment
       SYM_CODE_END -- the end of SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL or SYM_CODE_START
    
    d) For data
       SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
       SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL -- local data symbol
       SYM_DATA_END -- the end of the SYM_DATA_START symbol
       SYM_DATA_END_LABEL -- the labeled end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
       SYM_DATA -- start+end wrapper around simple global data
       SYM_DATA_LOCAL -- start+end wrapper around simple local data
    
    ==========
    
    The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark functions
    correctly in the output ELF objects.
    
    All users of the old macros in x86 are converted to use these in further
    patches.

---------------
It appears the following will fix it, applied and restarted my build now.
