x86/ftrace: Get rid of function_hook
History lesson courtesy of Steve: "When ftrace first was introduced to the kernel, it used gcc's mcount profiling mechanism. The mcount mechanism would add a call to "mcount" at the start of every function but after the stack frame was set up. Later, in gcc 4.6, gcc introduced -mfentry, that would create a call to "__fentry__" instead of "mcount", before the stack frame was set up. In order to handle both cases, ftrace defined a macro "function_hook" that would be either "mcount" or "__fentry__" depending on which one was being used. The Linux kernel no longer supports the "mcount" method, thus there's no reason to keep the "function_hook" define around. Simply use "__fentry__", as there is no ambiguity to the name anymore." Drop it everywhere. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: "H.

So in most cases, developers should write something like in the following
example, having some asm instructions in between the macros, of course::
- SYM_FUNC_START(function_hook)
+ SYM_FUNC_START(memset)
... asm insns ...
- SYM_FUNC_END(function_hook)
+ SYM_FUNC_END(memset)
In fact, this kind of annotation corresponds to the now deprecated ``ENTRY``
and ``ENDPROC`` macros.
