Subject: arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: work around gas-2.16.1 glitch
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
With i386, gas-2.16.1:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:398: Error: too many positional arguments
Parenthesising TI_sysenter_return makes it go away.
It changes the cpp output from
pushl_cfi (60 -8192 +8+4*4)(%esp)
to
pushl_cfi ((60)-8192 +8+4*4)(%esp)
