[ Upstream commit c54f90c2627cc316d365e3073614731e17dbc631 ]
LLVM's integrated assembler fails with the following error when
building KVM:
<inline asm>:12:6: error: expected absolute expression
.if kvm_update_va_mask == 0
^
<inline asm>:21:6: error: expected absolute expression
.if kvm_update_va_mask == 0
^
<inline asm>:24:2: error: unrecognized instruction mnemonic
NOT_AN_INSTRUCTION
^
LLVM ERROR: Error parsing inline asm
These errors come from ALTERNATIVE_CB and __ALTERNATIVE_CFG,
which test for the existence of the callback parameter in inline
assembly using the following expression:
" .if " __stringify(cb) " == 0\n"
This works with GNU as, but isn't supported by LLVM. This change
splits __ALTERNATIVE_CFG and ALTINSTR_ENTRY into separate macros
to fix the LLVM build.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
