Use unified assembler syntax (UAL) in inline assembler. Divided syntax is considered deprecated. This will also allow to build the kernel using LLVM's integrated assembler. 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.
