Commit-Message

On the non-assembler-side wrapping alternative-macros inside other macros to prevent duplication of code works, as the end result will just be a string that gets fed to the asm instruction. In real assembler code, wrapping .macro blocks inside other .macro blocks brings more restrictions on usage it seems and the optimization done by commit 2ba8c7dc71c0 ("riscv: Don't duplicate __ALTERNATIVE_CFG in __ALTERNATIVE_CFG_2") results in a compile error like: ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S: Assembler messages: ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: too many positional arguments ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:" ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "887:" ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:" ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "887:" ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:" ../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: attempt to move .org backwards Wrapping the variables containing assembler code in quotes solves this issue, compilation and the code in question still works and objdump also shows sane decompiled results of the affected code. Fixes: 2ba8c7dc71c0 ("riscv: Don't duplicate __ALTERNATIVE_CFG in __ALTERNATIVE_CFG_2") Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@...>
