mips: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the mips headers

2025-08-29T20:34:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. Defining such a macro was necessary in the early days of the kernel, since GCC only started providing __ASSEMBLER__ since version 3.0 in 2000 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f8f769ea4e69 ). However, having two macros can be very confusing nowadays for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with just one comment tweaked manually in arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h (that was missing some underscores).

MIPS: Guard some macros with ASSEMBLY in asm.h

2024-04-15T08:22:09+00:00

There are some assembly macros with very generic naming being defined asm.h. They are clashing with other macros from C code. Guard them with __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent futher clashes.

MIPS: Workaround clang inline compat branch issue

2023-02-28T22:09:49+00:00

Clang is unable to handle the situation that a chunk of inline assembly ends with a compat branch instruction and then compiler generates another control transfer instruction immediately after this compat branch. The later instruction will end up in forbidden slot and cause exception. Workaround by add a option to control the use of compact branch. Currently it's selected by CC_IS_CLANG and hopefully we can change it to a version check in future if clang manages to fix it. Fix boot on boston board.

MIPS: properly stop .eh_frame generation

2021-01-15T14:27:54+00:00

Commit 866b6a89c6d1 ("MIPS: Add DWARF unwinding to assembly") added -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to prevent compiler from emitting .eh_frame symbols. However, as MIPS heavily uses CFI, that's not enough. Use the approach taken for x86 (as it also uses CFI) and explicitly put CFI symbols into the .debug_frame section (except for VDSO). This allows us to drop .eh_frame from DISCARDS as it's no longer being generated.
