In an effort to clarify and simplify the annotation of assembly functions
in the kernel new macros have been introduced. These replace ENTRY and
ENDPROC and also add a new annotation for static functions which previously
had no ENTRY equivalent. Update the annotations in the library code to the
new macros.

Improve the performance of the crc32() asm routines by getting rid of
most of the branches and small sized loads on the common path.
Instead, use a branchless code path involving overlapping 16 byte
loads to process the first (length % 32) bytes, and process the
remainder using a loop that processes 32 bytes at a time.
Tested using the following test program:
#include <stdlib.h>
extern void crc32_le(unsigned short, char const*, int);
int main(void)
{
static const char buf[4096];
srand(20181126);
for (int i = 0; i < 100 * 1000 * 1000; i++)
crc32_le(0, buf, rand() % 1024);
return 0;
}
On Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57, the performance regresses but only very
slightly. On Cortex-A72 however, the performance improves from
$ time ./crc32
real 0m10.149s
user 0m10.149s
sys 0m0.000s
to
$ time ./crc32
real 0m7.915s
user 0m7.915s
sys 0m0.000s

Unlike crc32c(), which is wired up to the crypto API internally so the
optimal driver is selected based on the platform's capabilities,
crc32_le() is implemented as a library function using a slice-by-8 table
based C implementation. Even though few of the call sites may be
bottlenecks, calling a time variant implementation with a non-negligible
D-cache footprint is a bit of a waste, given that ARMv8.1 and up mandates
support for the CRC32 instructions that were optional in ARMv8.0, but are
already widely available, even on the Cortex-A53 based Raspberry Pi.
So implement routines that use these instructions if available, and fall
back to the existing generic routines otherwise. The selection is based
on alternatives patching.
Note that this unconditionally selects CONFIG_CRC32 as a builtin. Since
CRC32 is relied upon by core functionality such as CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE,
this just codifies the status quo.
