On x86-64, the parametrized selftest code for rseq crashes with a
segmentation fault when compiled with -fpie. This happens when the
param_test binary is loaded at an address beyond 32-bit on x86-64.

The issue is caused by use of a 32-bit register to hold the address
of the loop counter variable.

Fix this by using a 64-bit register to calculate the address of the
loop counter variables as an offset from rip.

Should this fix go through tip or the selftests tree ?

I usually have changes like this pulled through Shuah's tree with an
ack from the maintainer of the code that it tests.

Right that is what I prefer. I usually wait for an Ack. I can pull this
in.

I am maintainer of the code that it tests as well, so being both author
of the selftest patch and giving an ack to it seems a bit silly. :) Other
rseq co-maintainers could weight in though: Peter, Paul, and Boqun.

Thanks,

Mathieu
