This patch defines a few new macros that can be used to control the
visibility of symbols exported by the C library:
- ENTRY_PRIVATE() can be used in assembly sources to indicate
that an assembler function should have "hidden" visibility, i.e.
will never be exported by the C library's shared library.
This is the equivalent of using __LIBC_HIDDEN__ for a C function,
but ENTRY_PRIVATE() works like ENTRY(), and must be used with
END() to tag the end of the function.
- __LIBC_ABI_PUBLIC__ can be used to tag a C functions as being
part of the C library's public ABI. This is important for a
few functions that must be exposed by the NDK to maintain
binary compatibility.
Once a symbol has been tagged with this macro, it shall
*never* be removed from the library, even if it becomes
directly unused due to implementation changes
(e.g. __is_threaded).
- __LIBC_ABI_PRIVATE__ can be used for C functions that should
always be exported by the C library because they are used by
other libraries in the platform, but should not be exposed
by the NDK. It is possible to remove such symbols from the
implementation if all callers are also modified.
+ Add missing END() assembly macro for x86
Change-Id: Ia96236ea0dbec41d57bea634b39d246b30e5e234
Add a macro to annotate function end and start using both ENTRY and END
for each function. This allows valgrind (and presumably other debugging
tools) to use the debug symbols to trace the functions.

The change explicitly isolates the assembly-only macros in header
<machine/cpu-features.h> in order to prevent mis-inclusion in C/C++
source files.
Change-Id: I0258e87c5ac3fd24944fb227290ac3b9cac4bfba
Added an underscore to _ARM_HAVE_LDREX_STREX to make it match the others.
Added __ARM_HAVE_DMB and __ARM_HAVE_LDREXD when appropriate.
Fixed some typos.

ARMv6 onwards. These architectures provide the load-linked, store-conditional pair of ldrex/strex whose use
is recommended in place of 'swp'. Also, the description of the 'swp' instruction in the ARMv6 reference
manual states that the swap operation does not include any memory barrier guarantees.This fix attempts to
address these issues by providing an atomic swap implementation using ldrex/strex under _ARM_HAVE_LDREX_STREX
macro. This Fix is verified on ST Ericsson's U8500 platform and Submitted on behalf of a third-party:
Surinder-pal SINGH from STMicroelectronics.
