The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
Another, perhaps non-obvious, change is that in 64-bit kernels, the
get_fs() value (A.K.A current_thread_info()->addr_limit) will now vary
depending on the address space size of the process. This is a change,
as previously even 32-bit processes would have an addr_limit
appropriate for a 64-bit process. This will change the behavior of
access_ok(), but I think the new behavior is desirable.
Before the patch it may have been possible for a user space process to
pass a pointer to the kernel that would pass the access_ok() check,
but be outside of the 32-bit address space.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.
