Enable GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS which will store 32-bit relative
offsets to the bug address and the source file name instead of 64-bit
absolute addresses. This effectively reduces the size of the
__bug_table[] array by half on 64-bit kernels.

With this patch in mainline, parisc:tinyconfig fails to build.

ecurity/commoncap.c: In function 'cap_capset':
arch/parisc/include/asm/bug.h:71:17: error: invalid 'asm': operand number out of range
71 | asm volatile("\n" \
| ^~~

and many similar errors. Bisect log attached.

Yes, problem was reported already and fix is in my for-next git tree:
