179e949719 ARC: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in the non-uapi headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

b060b7d0c1 ARC: __switch_to: asm with dwarf ops (vs. inline asm)
__switch_to() is final step of context switch, swapping kernel modes
stack (and callee regs) of outgoing task with next task.

It is also the starting point of stack unwinging of a sleeping task and
captures SP, FP, BLINK and the corresponding dwarf info. Back when
dinosaurs still roamed around, ARC gas didn't support CFI pseudo ops and
gcc was responsible for generating dwarf info. Thus it had to be written
in "C" with inline asm to do the hand crafting of stack. The function
prologue (and crucial saving of blink etc) was still gcc generated but
not visible in code. Likewise dwarf info was missing.

Now with modern tools, we can make things more obvious by writing the
code in asm and adding approproate dwarf cfi pseudo ops.

This is mostly non functional change, except for slight chnages to asm

 - ARCompact doesn't support MOV_S fp, sp, so we use MOV

5a205a32ff ARC: dw2 unwind: add infrastructure for adding cfi pseudo ops to asm
1. detect whether binutils supports the cfi pseudo ops
2. define conditional macros to generate the ops
3. define new ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to annotate hand asm code.
   - Needed because we don't want to emit dwarf info in general ENTRY/END
     used by lowest level trap/exception/interrutp handlers as unwinder
     gets confused trying to unwind out of them. We want unwinder to
     instead stop when it hits onfo those routines
   - These provide minimal start/end cfi ops assuming routine doesn't
     touch stack memory/regs
