Unified assembly syntax requires conditionals to be postfixes.
TUSER() currently only takes a single argument which then gets
appended t (with translation) on every instruction.
This fixes a build error when using LLVM's integrated assembler:
In file included from kernel/futex.c:72:
./arch/arm/include/asm/futex.h:116:3: error: invalid instruction, did you mean: strt?
"2: " TUSER(streq) " %3, [%4]n"
^
<inline asm>:5:4: note: instantiated into assembly here
2: streqt r2, [r4]
^~~~~~
Additionally, for GCC ".syntax unified" for inline assembly.
When compiling non-Thumb2 GCC always emits a ".syntax divided"
at the beginning of the inline assembly which makes the
assembler fail. Since GCC 5 there is the -masm-syntax-unified
GCC option which make GCC assume unified syntax asm and hence
emits ".syntax unified" even in ARM mode. However, the option
is broken since GCC version 6 (see GCC PR88648 [1]). Work
around by adding ".syntax unified" as part of the inline
assembly.

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.
