Yeah, so this commit talks about ENTRY() and ENDPROC(), while the new methods are SYM_FUNC_START()/END(). > arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S | 4 ++-- > arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S | 14 +++++++------- > arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S | 6 ++---- > arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S | 5 ++--- > 4 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S > index 0c26b1b44e51..feac1e5ecba0 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S > @@ -89,8 +89,8 @@ ret_point: > > .data > ALIGN > -ENTRY(saved_magic) .long 0 > -ENTRY(saved_eip) .long 0 > +SYM_DATA(saved_magic, .long 0) > +saved_eip: .long 0 > > # saved registers > saved_idt: .long 0,0 > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S > index 50b8ed0317a3..551758f48eb7 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S > @@ -125,12 +125,12 @@ ENTRY(do_suspend_lowlevel) > ENDPROC(do_suspend_lowlevel) > > .data > -ENTRY(saved_rbp) .quad 0 > -ENTRY(saved_rsi) .quad 0 > -ENTRY(saved_rdi) .quad 0 > -ENTRY(saved_rbx) .quad 0 > +saved_rbp: .quad 0 > +saved_rsi: .quad 0 > +saved_rdi: .quad 0 > +saved_rbx: .quad 0 > > -ENTRY(saved_rip) .quad 0 > -ENTRY(saved_rsp) .quad 0 > +saved_rip: .quad 0 > +saved_rsp: .quad 0 > > -ENTRY(saved_magic) .quad 0 > +SYM_DATA(saved_magic, .quad 0) > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S b/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S > index b59e4fb40fd9..80965fd75fea 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S > @@ -507,10 +507,8 @@ GLOBAL(early_recursion_flag) > > __REFDATA > .align 4 > -ENTRY(initial_code) > - .long i386_start_kernel > -ENTRY(setup_once_ref) > - .long setup_once > +SYM_DATA(initial_code, .long i386_start_kernel) > +SYM_DATA(setup_once_ref, .long setup_once) > > /* > * BSS section > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S b/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S > index 8344dd2f310a..17543533642d 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S > @@ -463,9 +463,8 @@ early_gdt_descr: > early_gdt_descr_base: > .quad INIT_PER_CPU_VAR(gdt_page) > > -ENTRY(phys_base) > - /* This must match the first entry in level2_kernel_pgt */ > - .quad 0x0000000000000000 > +/* This must match the first entry in level2_kernel_pgt */ > +SYM_DATA(phys_base, .quad 0x0000000000000000) > EXPORT_SYMBOL(phys_base) > > #include "../../x86/xen/xen-head.S" I'd also suggest splitting this patch into two: - one for the renaming of the existing ENTRY() uses - and another one for the dropping of ENTRY() annotations Could you please also do this for other patches if necessary, i.e. there should be 'pure renaming' patches that are easy to review and verify, separate from patches that actually change the symbol table?
