Subject[PATCH v3 10/12] linux/linkage: add ASM() macro to reduce duplication between C/ASM code
Date
We often duplicate similar assembly code to use it from .c and .S files.
The difference is mostly the presence of double quotes.

So, here is a new macro ASM().
(We have similar approach for __ASM_FORM(), etc.)

The usage is like this:

#define MY_CODE \
ASM( .section ".text" )\
ASM( movl $1, %eax )

In C context, the preprocessor expands it into:

".section \".text\"" "\n\t" "movl $1, %eax" "\n\t"

This is perfect for the use from the inline asm(...) in .c files.

In assembly context, the preprocessor expands it into:

.section ".text" ; movl $1, %eax ;

This is fine for the use in .S files.

I used double-expansion like __stringify() so that we can use
macros in ASM(...).
