The patch titled Subject: kbuild: simpler generation of assembly constants has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kbuild-simpler-generation-of-assembly-constants.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kbuild-simpler-generation-of-assembly-constants.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kbuild-simpler-generation-of-assembly-constants.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kbuild: simpler generation of assembly constants gcc doesn't really look inside "asm" statements and more or less directly emits it into assembly. So pretend "#define" is CPU instruction. Also, use C++ comment to block whatever garbage is put at the end of the line by compiler.
