<title>x86: clean up symbol aliasing</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we have SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(), use those
to simplify the definition of function aliases across arch/x86.

For clarity, where there are multiple annotations such as
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), I've tried to keep annotations grouped by symbol. For
example, where a function has a name and an alias which are both
exported, this is organised as:

	SYM_FUNC_START(func)
	    ... asm insns ...
	SYM_FUNC_END(func)
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(func)

	SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func)
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias)

Where there are only aliases and no exports or other annotations, I have
not bothered with line spacing, e.g.

	SYM_FUNC_START(func)
	    ... asm insns ...
	SYM_FUNC_END(func)
	SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func)

The tools/perf/ copies of memset_64.S and memset_64.S are updated
likewise to avoid the build system complaining these are mismatched:

| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S
| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.

There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.

To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:

  cmd_bzip2   --&gt; cmd_bzip2_with_size
  cmd_lzma    --&gt; cmd_lzma_with_size
  cmd_lzo     --&gt; cmd_lzo_with_size
  cmd_lz4     --&gt; cmd_lz4_with_size
  cmd_xzkern  --&gt; cmd_xzkern_with_size
  cmd_zstd22  --&gt; cmd_zstd22_with_size

To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.

I did not touch the following:

  arch/arc/boot/Makefile
  arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
  arch/csky/boot/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/Makefile
  arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/Makefile
  kernel/Makefile

This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.

I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

When cross compiling i386_defconfig on an arm64 host with clang, there
are a few instances of '-Waddress-of-packed-member' and
'-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end' in arch/x86/boot/compressed/,
which should both be disabled with the cc-disable-warning calls in that
directory's Makefile, which indicates that cc-disable-warning is failing
at the point of testing these flags.

The cc-disable-warning calls fail because at the point that the flags
are tested, KBUILD_CFLAGS has '-march=i386' without $(CLANG_FLAGS),
which has the '--target=' flag to tell clang what architecture it is
targeting. Without the '--target=' flag, the host architecture (arm64)
is used and i386 is not a valid value for '-march=' in that case. This
error can be seen by adding some logging to try-run:

  clang-14: error: the clang compiler does not support '-march=i386'

Invoking the compiler has to succeed prior to calling cc-option or
cc-disable-warning in order to accurately test whether or not the flag
is supported; if it doesn't, the requested flag can never be added to
the compiler flags. Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to the beginning of KBUILD_FLAGS
so that any new flags that might be added in the future can be
accurately tested.
