The kernel Makefiles define the __ASSEMBLY__ macro to provide
a way to use headers in both, assembler and C source code.
However, all the supported versions of the GCC and Clang compilers
also define the macro __ASSEMBLER__ automatically already when compiling
assembler code, so some kernel headers are using __ASSEMBLER__ instead.
With regards to userspace code, this seems also to be constant source
of confusion, see for example these links here:

 https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20250222014526.2302653-1-seanjc@google.com/
 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28924355/gcc-assembler-preprocessor-not-compatible-with-standard-headers
 https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1652944#p1653834
 https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/issues/199

To avoid confusion in the future, it would make sense to standardize
on the macro that gets defined by the compiler, so this patch series
changes all occurances of __ASSEMBLY__ into __ASSEMBLER__.

I split the patches per architecture to ease the review, and I also
split the uapi headers from the normal ones in case we decide that
uapi needs to be treated differently from the normal headers here.

The related cleanup patches for x86, parisc, sh, arc, s390x and many
other architectures already got merged via their specific architecture
tree, see for example:

 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=24a295e4ef1ca8
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a141be3233af7
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cccaea1d66e94b
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e2b6a188625a2b
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9cc646950eefda
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=179e949719fe81
 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2cb74be378675c

The x86 have already been merged in Linux v6.15, and as far as I know,
there haven't been any complaints about problems in userspace with the
updated uapi headers yet, so I think these changes should be fine.

Thus, please merge the arm64 patches via the arm64 tree. Thanks!

 Thomas


v2:
- Split the arm64 patches from the global series
  (see https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250314071013.1575167-1-thuth@redhat.com/)
- Rebased the patches on linux-next and fixed the conflicts
