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.
