Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] linkage: new macros for assembler symbols

Introduce new C macros for annotations of functions and data in
assembly. There is a long-term 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
   SYM_T_FUNC -- type used by assembler to mark functions
   SYM_T_OBJECT -- type used by assembler to mark data

   They are defined as STT_FUNC and STT_OBJECT respectively. According
   to the gas manual, this is the most portable way. I am not sure about
   other assemblers, so we can switch this back to %function and %object
   if this turns into a problem. Architectures can also override them by
   something like ", @function" if need be.

   SYM_A_ALIGN, SYM_A_NOALIGN -- should we align the symbol?
   SYM_V_GLOBAL, SYM_V_WEAK, SYM_V_LOCAL -- visibility of symbols
b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
   SYM_START -- use only if you have to
   SYM_END -- use only if you have to
c) Generic annotations
d) Annotations for code
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
	one code
   SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
	code
   SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed code

   SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
   SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
	SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...

   SYM_FUNC_INNER_LABEL -- only for global labels in the middle of
	functions
d) For data
   SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
   SYM_DATA_END -- the end of SYM_DATA_START symbol

==========

Note that SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK aligns symbols now too.

The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark function
correctly in the output ELF objects. This will also help a lot to
generate DWARF information automatically during build of asm.

Finally, all users of the old macros will be converted to use these
later.

[v2]
* use SYM_ prefix and sane names
* add SYM_START and SYM_END and parametrize all the macros
