Subject: [PATCH] x86: linkage.h - guard assembler specifics by __ASSEMBLY__

Stephen Rothwell reported
|
|Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) produced this warning:
|
|In file included from drivers/char/epca.c:49:
|drivers/char/digiFep1.h:7:1: warning: "GLOBAL" redefined
|In file included from include/linux/linkage.h:5,
|                 from include/linux/kernel.h:11,
|                 from arch/x86/include/asm/system.h:10,
|                 from arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h:17,
|                 from include/linux/prefetch.h:14,
|                 from include/linux/list.h:6,
|                 from include/linux/module.h:9,
|                 from drivers/char/epca.c:29:
|arch/x86/include/asm/linkage.h:55:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
|
|Probably introduced by commit 95695547a7db44b88a7ee36cf5df188de267e99e
|("x86: asm linkage - introduce GLOBAL macro") from the x86 tree.
|

Any assembler specific snippets being placed in headers
are to be protected by __ASSEMBLY__. Fixed.

Also move __ALIGN definition under the same protection as well.
