As part of an effort to make the annotations in assembly code clearer and more consistent new macros have been introduced, including replacements for ENTRY() and ENDPROC(). On arm64 we have ENDPIPROC(), a custom version of ENDPROC() which is used for code that will need to run in position independent environments like EFI, it creates an alias for the function with the prefix __pi_ and then emits the standard ENDPROC. Add new-style macros to replace this which expand to the standard SYM_FUNC_*() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_*(), resulting in the same object code. These are added in linkage.h for consistency with where the generic assembler code has its macros.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
