Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-5.4] sparc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in uapi headers
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 11:57:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025160905.3857885-242-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251025160905.3857885-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit d6fb6511de74bd0d4cb4cabddae9b31d533af1c1 ]
__ASSEMBLY__ is only defined by the Makefile of the kernel, so
this is not really useful for uapi headers (unless the userspace
Makefile defines it, too). Let's switch to __ASSEMBLER__ which
gets set automatically by the compiler when compiling assembly
code.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
YES – Replacing the guard macro with `__ASSEMBLER__` in the SPARC UAPI
headers fixes a real user-space build break for assembly consumers with
negligible regression risk.
- `arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h:18`,
`arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/signal.h:108`,
`arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/traps.h:13`, and
`arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/utrap.h:47` now test `__ASSEMBLER__`,
which every assembler run by GCC/Clang defines automatically;
previously the check keyed on `__ASSEMBLY__`, a macro only injected by
the kernel’s own Makefiles.
- With the old guard, external SPARC assembly that includes these public
headers would see the C struct/type definitions and fail to assemble;
the new guard restores the intended split between C and assembly
views, so this is a direct usability fix for real-world toolchains.
- Normal C compilation remains untouched because neither `__ASSEMBLY__`
nor `__ASSEMBLER__` are defined there, so the change is behavior-
neutral for existing C users.
- Kernel-internal headers already rely on `__ASSEMBLER__` (e.g.,
`arch/sparc/include/asm/ptrace.h:8`), so this aligns the UAPI side
with established SPARC practice and does not introduce new concepts.
- The patch is purely mechanical and localized to guard macros, touching
no generated code or data layouts, which keeps regression risk
extremely low while resolving the user-visible build failure.
