From: Yury Norov ynorov@caviumnetworks.com
Commit eef94a3d09aa upstream.
ILP32 series [1] introduces the dependency on <asm/is_compat.h> for TASK_SIZE macro. Which in turn requires <asm/thread_info.h>, and <asm/thread_info.h> include <asm/memory.h>, giving a circular dependency, because TASK_SIZE is currently located in <asm/memory.h>.
In other architectures, TASK_SIZE is defined in <asm/processor.h>, and moving TASK_SIZE there fixes the problem.
