Subject: [RFC 0/4] x86: keep TASK_SIZE in sync with mm->task_size

At this moment, we have following task_size-related things:
- TASK_SIZE_OF() macro, which is unused;
- current->mm->task_size which is used in half and TASK_SIZE() macro
  which is used in the other half of code
- TIF_ADDR32, which is used to detect 32-bit address space and is
  x86-specific, where some other arches misused TIF_32BIT
- personality ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT, which is used on arm/alpha
- ADDR_LIMIT_3GB, which is x86-specific and can be used to change
  running task's TASK_SIZE 3GB <-> 4GB

This patches set removes unused definition of TASK_SIZE_OF (1),
defines TASK_SIZE macro as current->mm->task_size (3).
I would suggest define TASK_SIZE this way in generic version,
but currently I test it only on x86.
It also frees thread info flag (2) and adds arch_prctl()
on x86_64 to get/set current virtual address space size - as
it's needed by now only for CRIU, hide it under CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
config.
Hope those patches will help to clean task_size-related code
at least a bit (and helps me to restore vaddr limits).

Dmitry Safonov (4):
  mm: remove unused TASK_SIZE_OF()
  x86/thread_info: kill TIF_ADDR32 in favour of ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT
  x86/mm: define TASK_SIZE as current->mm->task_size
  x86/arch_prctl: add ARCH_{GET,SET}_TASK_SIZE
