Subject: [PATCH] x86/build: Fix vmlinux size check on 64-bit
Commit b4e0409a36f4 ("x86: check vmlinux limits, 64-bit") added a check
that the size of the 64-bit kernel is less than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
The check uses (_end - _text), but this is not enough. The initial PMD
used in startup_64() (level2_kernel_pgt) can only map upto
KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE from __START_KERNEL_map, not from _text.
The correct check is the same as for 32-bit, since LOAD_OFFSET is
defined appropriately for the two architectures. Just check
(_end - LOAD_OFFSET) against KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE unconditionally.
