	While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h> and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some missing underscores.

2019-12-10	mm, x86/mm: Untangle address space layout definitions from basic pgtable ↵	Ingo Molnar
	type definitions - Untangle the somewhat incestous way of how VMALLOC_START is used all across the kernel, but is, on x86, defined deep inside one of the lowest level page table headers. It doesn't help that vmalloc.h only includes a single asm header: #include <asm/page.h> /* pgprot_t */ So there was no existing cross-arch way to decouple address layout definitions from page.h details. I used this: #ifndef VMALLOC_START # include <asm/vmalloc.h> #endif This way every architecture that wants to simplify page.h can do so. - Also on x86 we had a couple of LDT related inline functions that used the late-stage address space layout positions - but these could be uninlined without real trouble - the end result is cleaner this way as well.
