Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation/l1tf: Add assembly guard for xtensa/ia64

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The stable backport of the

x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings

patch for 4.4 and 4.9 put new C code for !__HAVE_ARCH_PFN_MODIFY_ALLOWED
code outside the assembler ifdef. This breaks the xtensa and ia64
build as reported by 0day which somehow include this file
into assembler.

Just add an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ around the new code to fix this.

This patch is only needed for 4.9 and 4.4 stable, the newer stables
don't have this problem.

Fixes: 7c5b42f82c13 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings")
