Could you maybe change that into "__ASSEMBLER__" instead of "__ASSEMBLY__" ?
I'm currently trying to get rid of the latter in the kernel sources, see:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250606070952.498274-1-thuth@xxxxxxxxxx/

It's been applied, it's up to riscv's maintainers how we should do this.

I can send v3, or a follow-up patch.

Or riscv maintainers can also squash that change into this patch, or
into your patch.

I'm fine with any options.

Riscv pull request is already created. A follow-up patch it is then.

I've queued the following for v6.18-rc.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas: have you considered updating checkpatch to scan for instances of
__ASSEMBLY__? Might preempt these sorts of manual fixes going forward.

I hope to get in the final patches soon ... so once that's done, __ASSEMBLY__ won't get defined anymore, so using it by accident will then cause a build error in assembly code - I hope that's obvious enough that we don't need a (temporary) patch for checkpatch.pl.

Subject: [PATCH] riscv: kprobes: convert one final __ASSEMBLY__ to
__ASSEMBLER__

Per the reasoning in commit f811f58597ac ("riscv: Replace __ASSEMBLY__
with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers"), convert one last remaining
instance of __ASSEMBLY__ in the arch/riscv kprobes code. This entered
the tree from patches that were sent before Thomas' changes; and when
I reviewed the kprobes patches before queuing them, I missed this
instance.
