Commit Message

ARM64 randdconfig builds regularly run into a build error, especially
when NUMA_BALANCING and SPARSEMEM are enabled but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP:

 #error "KASAN: not enough bits in page flags for tag"

The last-cpuid bits are already contitional on the available space,
so the result of the calculation is a bit random on whether they
were already left out or not.

Adding the kasan tag bits before last-cpuid makes it much more likely
to end up with a successful build here, and should be reliable for
randconfig at least, as long as that does not randomize NR_CPUS
or NODES_SHIFT but uses the defaults.

In order for the modified check to not trigger in the x86 vdso32 code
where all constants are wrong (building with -m32), enclose all the
definitions with an #ifdef.

Submitted v1 in March and never followed up on the build regression,
which is fixed in this version.

Why not keep "#error "KASAN: not enough bits in page flags for tag"" under "#ifdef CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS" ?

I think I had meant the #error to leave out the mention of KASAN, as there
might be other reasons for using up all the bits, but then I did not change
it in the end.

Should I remove the "KASAN" word or add the #ifdef when resending?

It seems like changing the error message is a better choice.
Don't forget to remove "for tag" as well.
