Hi Greg and stable tree maintainers,
Please consider cherry-picking
commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly")
back to 4.19.y and 4.14.y. It first landed in v5.3-rc1 and applies
cleanly to both branches. I did not find any fixups to 95b980d62d52,
FWIW.

Otherwise users upgrading to this point release of linux-4.14.y still on
versions of the GNU assembler older than v1.28 will observe assembler
errors when building this series. See the link below for the error
messages.

Please see
https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/20221103210748.1343090-1-ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx/
for more info.
