Unfortunately you've walked into a bit of mine field here :)
In user space they use FUNC_START() to declare the start of a function,
and we should do the same. Anton added FUNC_START/END, but didn't quite
get around to converting everything, see 151f25112ff7 ("powerpc: define
FUNC_START/FUNC_END").
So what I'd like is all uses of _GLOBAL() to become FUNC_START(), and
then we can change _GLOBAL() to just define a global symbol.
We can probably decouple that from most of this series though, as I
mentioned in my other reply, just by using _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().
cheers
