Subject: [PATCH] kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions

As requested
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]),
this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach.

Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog:

: Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols") : [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought : were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc : is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate : .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being : dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in : .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

This patch (of 2);

Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c:
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe()
- arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
- arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole()
- arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so drop the static attribute for the latter.

arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so drop the __weak attribute.
