In an effort to clarify and simplify the annotation of assembly functions in the kernel new macros have been introduced. These replace ENTRY and ENDPROC with separate annotations for standard C callable functions, data and code with different calling conventions. Using these for __smccc_workaround_1_smc is more involved than for most symbols as this symbol is annotated quite unusually, rather than just have the explicit symbol we define _start and _end symbols which we then use to compute the length. This does not play at all nicely with the new style macros. Instead define a constant for the size of the function and use that in both the C code and for .org based size checks in the assembly code.

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.
