The arm compiler internally interprets an inline assembly label as an unsigned long value, not a pointer. As a result, under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, the address of a label has a size of 4 bytes, which was tripping the runtime checks. Instead, we can just cast the label (as done with the size calculations earlier).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
