Hi glibc maintainers,

I am working on a Linux kernel patch that replaces __ASSEMBLY__ with
__ASSEMBLER__ in ARM UAPI headers (arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h).

Patch reference:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260228121311.3804-1-sef1548@gmail.com/

I would like to ask directly:

  Will switching Linux UAPI headers from __ASSEMBLY__ to __ASSEMBLER__
  affect glibc in any way?

Any feedback from the glibc side would be greatly appreciated and
will be referenced in the upstream kernel discussion.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Nick Huang <sef1548@gmail.com>
