[PATCH v2 2/2] kbuild: fix asm-offset generation to work with clang

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Apr 21 2017 - 02:22:30 EST


From: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

KBuild abuses the asm statement to write to a file and
clang chokes about these invalid asm statements. Hack it
even more by fooling this is actual valid asm code.

[masahiro:
Import Jeroen's work for U-Boot:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375026/
Tweak sed script a little to avoid garbage '#' for GCC case, like
#define NR_PAGEFLAGS 23 /* __NR_PAGEFLAGS # */ ]

Changes in v2:
- V1 did not work with LLVM's integrated assembler because
it uses <tab> instead of <space> around the .ascii string.
Restore [:space:].
