arm64: fix the build with binutils 2.27
Jon Hunter reports that for some toolchains the build has been broken since commit: 4c0bd995d73ed889 ("arm64: alternatives: have callbacks take a cap") ... with a stream of build-time splats of the form: | CC arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/debug-sr.o | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s: Assembler messages: | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1600: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1600: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1600: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1600: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1600: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character | is `L' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1723: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1723: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1723: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1723: Error: found 'L', expected: ')' | /tmp/ccY3kbki.s:1723: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character | is `L' | scripts/Makefile.build:249: recipe for target | 'arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/debug-sr.o' failed The issue here is that older versions of binutils (up to and including 2.27.0) don't like an 'L' suffix on constants. For plain assembly files, UL() avoids this suffix, but in C files this gets added, and so for inline assembly we can't directly use a constant defined with `UL()`. We could avoid this by passing the constant as an input parameter, but this isn't practical given the way we use the alternative macros. Instead, just open code the constant without the `UL` suffix, and for consistency do this for both the inline assembly macro and the regular assembly macro.
