Yes. A good example to follow would be arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S.

Btw., IIRC GAS is being silly about .L, i.e. there's a difference between these 
two variants:

 .Lerror_entry_from_usermode_swapgs:
 .L_error_entry_from_usermode_swapgs:

the latter would be easier to read, but does not result in a local label last I 
checked.

Right?

Thanks,
