This series aims to make symbol aliasing simpler and more consistent.
The basic idea is to replace SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(alias) and
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(alias) with a new SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, name), so
that e.g.

    SYM_FUNC_START(func)
    SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(alias1)
    SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(alias2)
        ... asm insns ...
    SYM_FUNC_END(func)
    SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(alias1)
    SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(alias2)
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias1)
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias2)

... can become:

    SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        ... asm insns ...
    SYM_FUNC_END(name)

    SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias1, func)
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias1)

    SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias2, func)
    EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias2)

This avoids repetition and hopefully make it easier to ensure
consistency (e.g. so each function has a single canonical name and
associated metadata).

I've build+boot tested arm64 defconfig without issues, and also build
tested arm/i386/x86_64 defconfig without issues. I've pushed the series
to my `linkage/alias-rework` branch on git.kernel.org, atop v5.17-rc1:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git linkage/alias-rework
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=linkage/alias-rework

Since RFCv1 [1]:
* Drop arm64 dma alias removal (taken via arm64 for v5.17)
* Rename SYM_FUNC_LOCAL_ALIAS() -> SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_LOCAL()
* Update the tools/ copies of x86 routines
* Add preparatory fix for 32-bit arm
* Rebase to v5.17-rc1

Thanks,
Mark.
