The tramp_alias macro constructs the virtual alias of a symbol in the trampoline text mapping, based on its kernel text address, and does so in a way that is more convoluted than necessary. So let's simplify that. Also, now that the address of the vector table is kept in a per-CPU variable, there is no need to defer the load and the assignment of VBAR_EL1 to tramp_exit(). This means we can use a PC-relative reference to the per-CPU variable instead of storing its absolute address in a global variable in the trampoline rodata. And given that tramp_alias no longer needs a temp register, this means we can restore X30 earlier as well, and only leave X29 for tramp_exit() to restore. While at it, give some related symbols static linkage, considering that they are only referenced from the object file that defines them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
