Hi Mark, all.

In patch 'dbc9344a68e506f19f8 ("arm64: clean up THREAD_* definitions")'
you move THREAD_* definitions from arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h
to asm/memory.h. After that asm/thread_info.h starts to depend on
asm/memory.h.

When I try to apply ilp32 series on top of it [1], it causes circular
dependencies like this one:

In file included from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h:30:0,
from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h:30,
from ./include/linux/thread_bits.h:20,
from ./include/linux/thread_info.h:13,
from ./include/asm-generic/preempt.h:4,
from ./arch/arm64/include/generated/asm/preempt.h:1,
from ./include/linux/preempt.h:80,
from ./include/linux/rcupdate.h:40,
from ./include/linux/rculist.h:10,
from ./include/linux/pid.h:4,
from ./include/linux/sched.h:13,
from arch/arm64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:21:
./arch/arm64/include/asm/is_compat.h: In function âis_a32_compat_taskâ:
./arch/arm64/include/asm/is_compat.h:25:9: error: implicit declaration of function âtest_thread_flagâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
return test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is that asm/memory.h depends on asm/is_compat.h to define
TASK_SIZE, which in turn requires asm/thread_info.h.

The most obvious solution for it is to create is_compat.c file and make
is_*_compat() real functions. The other option is to move THREAD_*
definitions to separated macro. I would prefer 2nd one because of following
reasons:
- TASK_SIZE macro is used many times in kernel, including hot paths;
- asm/memory.h is included widely, as well as asm/thread_info.h, and it's
better not to make them depend one from another;
- THREAD_SIZE etc are not memory-related definitions.

In this patch THREAD_* definitions moved to separated asm/thread_size.h
header. It's enough to resolve dependency above.

If you find this approach useful, I can prepare other patch that moves
TASK_* definitions from asm/memory.h to new header to remove the dependency
from asm/is_compat.h.

Also, arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S and arch/arm64/kernel/hibernate-asm.S
#includes list is cleaned.
