Just curious, what's TASK_SIZE_32 used for in the vDSO code? You don't
seem to move TASK_SIZE.
I tried to fine grain the headers as much as I could in order to avoid
unneeded/unwanted inclusions:
 * TASK_SIZE_32 is used to verify ABI consistency on vdso32 (please refer to
   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vgettimeofday.c).
 * TASK_SIZE is not required by the vdso library hence it is not present in
   these headers.
It would be worth noting the former point in the commit message, since
it can be surprising.

I also think it's worth keeping the definitions together if that's easy,
as it makes it easier to navigate the codebase, even if TASK_SIZE isn't
necessary for the VDSO itself.
It won't work as TASK_SIZE requires (on arm64) test_thread_flag() which
can't be made available to the vDSO.
Ah; fair enough.

Thanks,
Mark.
