Subject: MIPS: boot: Define __ASSEMBLY__ for its.S build
From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0f9da844d87796ac31b04e81ee95e155e9043132 upstream.
The MIPS %.its.S compiler command did not define __ASSEMBLY__, which meant
when compiler_types.h was added to kconfig.h, unexpected things appeared
(e.g. struct declarations) which should not have been present. As done in
the general %.S compiler command, __ASSEMBLY__ is now included here too.
The failure was:
Error: arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.its:201.1-2 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
/usr/bin/mkimage: Can't read arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.itb.tmp: Invalid argument
/usr/bin/mkimage Can't add hashes to FIT blob
