// the beginning and end.
//
// These functions are weird: this is due to ICF (Identical Code Folding).
// The linker merges functions that have the same code, which would be the case
// if these functions were empty, or simple.
// Gold's flag --icf=safe will *not* alias functions when their address is used
// in code, but as of November 2017, we use the default setting that
// deduplicates function in this case as well.
//
// Thus these functions are made to be unique, using inline .word in assembly.
//
// Note that code |CheckOrderingSanity()| below will make sure that these
// functions are not aliased, in case the toolchain becomes really clever.
