Hi,

Commit 0c8c0f03e3a2 ("x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'")
causes s390 builds in mainline to fail as follows.

arch/s390/kernel/traps.c: Assembler messages:

	(0x00000000000023e8 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x0000000000000fff)

I didn't bisect that one, but it looks like the cause is the same.

Hm, it looks like the new, increased offset of 'thread_struct' within
'task_struct' goes over a limit that these instructions are able to support on
arm64:

  arch/arm64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:  DEFINE(THREAD_CPU_CONTEXT,    offsetof(struct task_struct, thread.cpu_context));
  arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:      add     x8, x0, #THREAD_CPU_CONTEXT
  arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:      add     x8, x1, #THREAD_CPU_CONTEXT

If there's no instruction that can support such offset sizes then I suspect the
straightforward fix would be to pass in thread_struct instead - like the patch
below. That's a tiny bit cleaner for type encapsulation anyway.


Olof submitted a different patch to solve the problem:
	http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2036825.html

His patch is passing cpu_context instead of thread_context.

Warning: it's not even build tested, but in case it works:

Doesn't compile.

It would have to be
	last = cpu_switch_to(&prev->thread, &next->thread);

which does compile, but fails to run in qemu.
