This section covers ``SYM_FUNC_*`` and ``SYM_CODE_*`` enumerated above.
+``objtool`` requires that all code must be contained in an ELF symbol. Symbol
+names that have a ``.L`` prefix do not emit symbol table entries. ``.L``
+prefixed symbols can be used within a code region, but should be avoided for
+denoting a range of code via ``SYM_*_START/END`` annotations.

* ``SYM_FUNC_START`` and ``SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL`` are supposed to be **the
most frequent markings**. They are used for functions with standard calling
conventions -- global and local. Like in C, they both align the functions to
