[PATCH] arm64: entry: add END/ENDPROC markers to *.S files

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>

Add END/ENDPROC markers to *.S files so that assembly instructions
can be mapped to symbols.

Is this just for external debug, or does anything in-kernel rely on
this?

We treat el1_preempt like a subroutine (it gets called and returns), so
END_PROC() would seem more sensible.

I'm converting the syscall paths to C [1], which should address all of
the above, except for work_pending.

I do hope to convert that in future along with the rest of the entry
triage logic [2].

Thanks,
Mark.

[PATCH] arm64: entry: add END/ENDPROC markers to *.S files

[Eugene Loh]

Thanks to Mark and Will for pointing me to Mark's work, which makes this 
patch unneeded.

A few more comments below in case anyone is interested.

It was motivated by DTrace, which got symbolic information from "nm -S 
vmlinux".

Bingo.  Thanks.

Could you expand on the commid message please? Who's mapping what and how?

Please remove this line.

Please be aware that work is underway to rewrite much of entry.S in C, so
it's not clear how relevant this patch will be. Take a look at:

We should have a matching ENTRY for all END macros, I think.

Hmm, I tend to thing of this exit code as a state machine with a bunch of
labels, rather than as a set of functions. What exactly are you doing
with the END annotations?
