Subject: [RFC][PATCH] Add EXPORT_MACRO_SYMBOL() for asm


Commit 784d5699eddc5 ("x86: move exports to actual definitions") removed the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__fentry__) and EXPORT_SYMBOL(mcount) from x8664_ksyms_64.c,
and added EXPORT_SYMBOL(function_hook) in mcount_64.S instead. The problem
is that function_hook isn't a function at all, but a macro that is defined
as eithe mcount or __fentry__ depending on the support from gcc. But instead
of adding more #ifdefs like x8684_ksyms_64.c had, I suggest having another
export that can handle this similar to the way __string() works with
converting macros to strings. By having:

 EXPORT_MACRO_SYMBOL(function_hook)

Where we have:

 #define EXPORT_MACRO_SYMBOL(x) EXPORT_SYMBOL(x)

It will convert the macro into what it is defined as before calling
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), and this will just work properly again.
