arm64: clean up symbol aliasing
Now that we have SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(), use those
to simplify and more consistently define function aliases across
arch/arm64.
Aliases are now defined in terms of a canonical function name. For
position-independent functions I've made the __pi_<func> name the
canonical name, and defined other alises in terms of this.
The SYM_FUNC_{START,END}_PI(func) macros obscure the __pi_<func> name,
and make this hard to seatch for. The SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_PI() macro
also obscures the fact that the __pi_<func> fymbol is global and the
<func> symbol is weak. For clarity, I have removed these macros and used
SYM_FUNC_{START,END}() directly with the __pi_<func> name.
For example:
SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_PI(func)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END_PI(func)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(func)
... becomes:
SYM_FUNC_START(__pi_func)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END(__pi_func)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(func, __pi_func)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(func)
For clarity, where there are multiple annotations such as
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), I've tried to keep annotations grouped by symbol. For
example, where a function has a name and an alias which are both
exported, this is organised as:
SYM_FUNC_START(func)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END(func)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(func)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias)
For consistency with the other string functions, I've defined strrchr as
a position-independent function, as it can safely be used as such even
though we have no users today.
As we no longer use SYM_FUNC_{START,END}_ALIAS(), our local copies are
removed. The common versions will be removed by a subsequent patch.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
