Subject: [PATCH] x86/ftrace: Get rid of function_hook

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

function_hook is used as a better name than the default __fentry__
which is the profiling counter which gcc adds before every function's
prologue. Thus, it is not called from C and cannot have the same
semantics as a pure C function - it saves/restores regs so that a C
function can be called.

Drop the function_hook symbol and use __fentry__ directly for better
alignment with gcc's documentation.

Switch the marking to SYM_CODE_START/_END which is reserved for
non-standard, special functions.

   So in most cases, developers should write something like in the following
   example, having some asm instructions in between the macros, of course::
 
-    SYM_FUNC_START(function_hook)
+    SYM_FUNC_START(memset)
         ... asm insns ...
-    SYM_FUNC_END(function_hook)
+    SYM_FUNC_END(memset)
 
   In fact, this kind of annotation corresponds to the now deprecated ``ENTRY``
   and ``ENDPROC`` macros.
