arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits contiguous
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We need the bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK to be contiguous in order to to use
this as an immediate argument to an AND instruction in entry.S.

We happened to change these bits in commits:

  b5a5a01 ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
  192caab ("arm64: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")

which each worked in isolation, but the merge resolution in commit:

  005b2a9 ("Merge tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block")

happened to make the bits non-contiguous.

Fix this by moving TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL to be bit 6, which is contiguous
with the rest of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

Otherwise, we'll get a build-time failure as below:

   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:733: Error: immediate out of range at operand 3 -- `and x2,x19,#((1<<1)|(1<<0)|(1<<2)|(1<<3)|(1<<4)|(1<<5)|(1<<7))'
   scripts/Makefile.build:360: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/kernel/entry.o' failed

Fixes: 005b2a9 ("Merge tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block")
