    linkage: add generic GLOBAL() macro · ad697a1a
    Mark Rutland authored
    Declaring a global symbol in assembly is tedious, error-prone, and
    painful to read. While ENTRY() exists, this is supposed to be used for
    function entry points, and this affects alignment in a potentially
    undesireable manner.
    
    Instead, let's add a generic GLOBAL() macro for this, as x86 added
    locally in commit:
    
      95695547
    
     ("x86: asm linkage - introduce GLOBAL macro")
    
    ... thus allowing us to use this more freely in the kernel.
