commit c7858bf16c0b2cc62f475f31e6df28c3a68da1d6 upstream.

The asm-prototypes.h file is used to provide dummy function declarations
for genksyms, when processing asm files with EXPORT_SYMBOL. Make sure
that any architecture defines get out of our way. x86 currently has an
issue with memcpy on 64bit with CONFIG_KMEMCHECK=y and with
memset/__memset on 32bit:

	$ cat init/test.c
	#include &lt;asm/asm-prototypes.h&gt;
	$ make -s init/test.o

During real build, this manifests itself by genksyms segfaulting.

commit 334bb773876403eae3457d81be0b8ea70f8e4ccc upstream.

Commit 4efca4ed ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") adds
modversion support for symbols exported from asm files. Architectures
must include C-style declarations for those symbols in asm/asm-prototypes.h
in order for them to be versioned.

Add these declarations for x86, and an architecture-independent file that
can be used for common symbols.

With f27c2f6 reverting 8ab2ae6 ("default exported asm symbols to zero") we
produce a scary warning on x86, this commit fixes that.
