Subject: ARM: assembler.h: Add string declaration macro
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f51965e7033441cb10ce577d1ef2d580a80af08;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ARM: assembler.h: Add string declaration macro

Declaring strings in assembler source involves a certain amount of
tedious boilerplate code in order to annotate the resulting symbol
correctly.

Encapsulating this boilerplate in a macro should help to avoid some
duplication and the occasional mistake.
