Ingo made a similar suggestion a while back:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150717194307.GA26757@gmail.com
But the frame stuff can't be folded into ENTRY/ENDPROC because we don't need to create a stack frame for *all* functions, but rather only for non-leaf functions.
So then we considered something like:
FUNCTION_ENTRY(func) FUNCTION_RETURN(func)
for non-leaf functions, and:
LEAF_FUNCTION_ENTRY(func) LEAF_FUNCTION_RETURN(func)
for leaf functions.
But that was too inflexible for the case where a function ends with a jump instead of a return.
