powerpc/asm: Remove UPD_CONSTR after GCC 4.9 removal

2021-10-08T13:15:59Z

UPD_CONSTR was previously a preprocessor define for an old GCC 4.9 inline asm bug with m<> constraints.

powerpc: remove GCC version check for UPD_CONSTR

2021-09-13T17:18:28Z

Now that GCC 5.1 is the minimum supported version, we can drop this workaround for older versions of GCC. This adversely affected clang, too.

powerpc: move ASM_CONST and stringify_in_c() into asm-const.h

This patch moves ASM_CONST() and stringify_in_c() into dedicated asm-const.h, then cleans all related inclusions. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy [mpe: asm-compat.h should include asm-const.h] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
