The purpose of this serie is to activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.
Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are
leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult.
Changes since RFC v2:
- Removed the modification of names in asm-offsets
- Created a rule in arch/powerpc/Makefile to append the offset of current->cpu in CFLAGS
- Modified asm/smp.h to use the offset set in CFLAGS
- Squashed the renaming of THREAD_INFO to TASK_STACK in the preparation patch
- Moved the modification of current_pt_regs in the patch activating CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
Changes since RFC v1:
- Removed the first patch which was modifying header inclusion order in timer
- Modified some names in asm-offsets to avoid conflicts when including asm-offsets in C files
- Modified asm/smp.h to avoid having to include linux/sched.h (using asm-offsets instead)
- Moved some changes from the activation patch to the preparation patch.
Christophe Leroy (7):
book3s/64: avoid circular header inclusion in mmu-hash.h
powerpc: Prepare for moving thread_info into task_struct
powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
powerpc: regain entire stack space
powerpc: 'current_set' is now a table of task_struct pointers
powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU
powerpc/64: Modify CURRENT_THREAD_INFO()
