x86_64: Work around old GAS bug
GAS in binutils(2.16.91) could not parse parentheses within macro parameters unless fully parenthesized, and this is a workaround to make old gas work without generating below errors: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:387: Error: too many positional arguments arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:389: Error: too many positional arguments [...] Signed-off-by: Tao Guo <glorioustao@gmail.com> Reluctantly-Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348648102-12653-1-git-send-email-glorioustao@gmail.com [ Jan argues that these old GAS versions are fragile - which is so, but lets give them a chance. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
