Commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for
memset/memmove/memcpy functions") added .weak directives to
arch/x86/lib/mem*_64.S instead of changing the existing SYM_FUNC_START_*
macros.

There were no SYM_FUNC_START_* macros in 2015.

include/linux/linkage.h had WEAK in 2015 and WEAK should have been
used instead. Do I just need to fix the description?

This can lead to the assembly snippet `.weak memcpy ... .globl
memcpy`

SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL(memcpy)
does not add .globl, so I don't understand the rationale.

There is no problem using
.weak
SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL
just looks suspicious so I changed it, too.

So the commit log doesn't correspond to your changes ;). You need to update it and describe the difference from memmove/memset properly.

which will produce a STB_WEAK memcpy with GNU as but STB_GLOBAL
memcpy with LLVM's integrated assembler before LLVM 12. LLVM 12 (since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108) will error on such an overridden symbol
binding.

Use the appropriate SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK instead.
