Should we introduce a macro to deal with this rather than writing
it out each time? EXPORT()?

we have it already with the linux/linkage.h header :)

Well, unless my tree is out of date (or stuff is in-flight) we don't
have the full compliment here.  We have<linux/linkage.h>  for all and
<asm/linkage.h>  for bfin.  That said, yes, we should grab at least
the ARM version and make use of ENTRY/END_FUNC ala the kernel.  I'm
behind on my "convert __attribute__((...)) to __attr" series already
or I'd say more :)

In case one of you is going to look at this, can we try to use
asm-generic as much as possible?

i don't know what you mean ... we already have linux/linkage.h with
sane defaults for pretty much everyone.  the Blackfin asm/linkage.h is
an empty file to satisfy building.

Well, the kernel version for blackfin sets ALIGN/ALIGN_STR, so are they
out of sync?

the overall linkage.h concept is the same, but we've unified things better in
the u-boot code.  Linux's common linkage.h has x86-centric defaults which we
specifically avoided in the u-boot version.

we might want to tweak the ENDPROC() in u-boot's linkage.h to use % rather
than @ since the latter is a comment char in arm asm and the former should
work for all the arches i know of just the same as @.  i expect the arm guys
to submit a patch though at the same time they add a stub asm/linkage.h ;).

I was planning to do that in the next revision of this series. BTW, I
guess the following in the arm linkage.h of kernel is useful too. Any
thoughts?

#define __ALIGN .align 0
#define __ALIGN_STR ".align 0"

BTW, I am not volunteering to convert all the assembly functions in ARM
to the new format:) I shall do it for armv7.

Aneesh
