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.
