ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using inline assembler in C code. On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__, so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in include/linux/linkage.h. If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator, but the start of a comment for ARC. Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
