[PATCH v2] ARM: fix randomized task_struct

Fri Jun 30 09:03:59 PDT 2017


With the new task struct randomization, we can run into a build
failure for certain random seeds:

arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S:803: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4096)

Only two constants in asm-offset.h are affected, and I'm changing
both of them here to work correctly in all configurations.

One more macro has the problem, but is currently unused, so this
removes it instead of adding complexity.

Fixes: c33d8b12fbbd ("task_struct: Allow randomized layout")

v2: define a more appropriate macro instead of PAGE_MASK,
    fix always-true comparison to test the right thing
