While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro
that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. Defining
such a macro was necessary in the early days of the kernel, since GCC
only started providing __ASSEMBLER__ since version 3.0 in 2000 (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f8f769ea4e69 ).
However, having two macros can be very confusing nowadays for the
developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding,
or when dealing with uapi headers that should use __ASSEMBLER__
instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is
provided by the compilers.
This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), with just one comment tweaked manually in
arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h (that was missing some underscores).
