Since there may be more of these and we try to avoid #ifdef in .c
files, I think we should create an isns helper macro and use it here
instead. Like:

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
# define ASM_MUL "mulq"
#else
# define ASM_MUL "mull"
#endif

...


asm(ASM_MUL " %3" ...

Sounds very reasonable. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll rework the patch.

Oh, hah, this almost already exists. I went looking for where it might
best live and I see this is already built up in
arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h

I think you just need to add:

#define _ASM_MUL __ASM_SIZE(mul)

to that header, and use _ASM_MUL in kaslr.c.
