[ Upstream commit 92e2921eeafdfca9acd9b83f07d2b7ca099bac24 ]
ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using
inline assembler in C code.
On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to
a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because
arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__,
so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in
include/linux/linkage.h.
If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in
wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator,
but the start of a comment for ARC.
Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.
Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro")
Fixes: 8d92e992a785 ("ARC: define __ALIGN_STR and __ALIGN symbols for ARC")

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.
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.
