From: Genjian Zhang <zhanggenjian@xxxxxxxxxx> compiler error (mips-linux-gnu-gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110): {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:171: Error: found '(', expected: ')' {standard input}:171: Error: found '(', expected: ')' {standard input}:171: Error: non-constant expression in ".if" statement {standard input}:171: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `(' Expands ___SYNC() macros. However, 'if' statement will be wrong assembly. This Compilers report a lot of errors like the above. The problem is caused by the #define of if() in include/linux/compiler.h when CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is set. Move '.if' into quoted strings to fix it.
