ARC: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the non-uapi headers

2025-06-09T16:18:12+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

ARC: define ASM_NL and __ALIGN(_STR) outside #ifdef ASSEMBLY guard

2023-06-14T19:47:05+00:00

ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using inline assembler in C code. On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__, so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in include/linux/linkage.h. If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator, but the start of a comment for ARC. Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef. Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro") Fixes: 8d92e992a785 ("ARC: define __ALIGN_STR and __ALIGN symbols for ARC") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

ARC: define __ALIGN_STR and __ALIGN symbols for ARC

2020-03-11T17:07:15+00:00

The default defintions use fill pattern 0x90 for padding which for ARC generates unintended "ldh_s r12,[r0,0x20]" corresponding to opcode 0x9090 So use ".align 4" which insert a "nop_s" instruction instead.

ARCv2: entry: rewrite to enable use of double load/stores LDD/STD

2019-07-01T18:02:22+00:00

- the motivation was to be remove blatent copy-paste due to hasty support of CONFIG_ARC_IRQ_NO_AUTOSAVE support - but with refactoring we could use LDD/STD to greatly optimize the code Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: dw2 unwind: add infrastructure for adding cfi pseudo ops to asm

2016-09-30T21:48:22+00:00

1. detect whether binutils supports the cfi pseudo ops 2. define conditional macros to generate the ops 3. define new ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to annotate hand asm code. - Needed because we don't want to emit dwarf info in general ENTRY/END used by lowest level trap/exception/interrutp handlers as unwinder gets confused trying to unwind out of them. We want unwinder to instead stop when it hits onfo those routines - These provide minimal start/end cfi ops assuming routine doesn't touch stack memory/regs Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: switch to generic ENTRY/END assembler annotations

2014-03-26T09:01:28+00:00

With commit 9df62f054406 "arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';'" the generic macros can handle the arch specific newline quirk. Hence we can get rid of ARC asm macros and use the "C" style macros. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro

2014-01-27T20:45:29+00:00

For some assemblers, they use another character as newline in a macro (e.g. arc uses '`'), so for generic assembly code, need use ASM_NL (a macro) instead of ';' for it. Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Acked-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
