[PATCHv2 00/11] arm64: move thread_info off of the task stack

[Mark Rutland]

Hi all,

Building atop of Andy's work on x86 and generic code, these patches move
arm64's thread_info off of the stack and into task_struct. This protects
thread_info from corruption in the face of stack overflow, and serves as
a step towards fully robust stack overflow handling, which will be
addressed by subsequent patches.

The patches are based atop of a couple or preparatory patches (also
needed for s390) which I've placed in my kernel.org repo, tagged as
core-ti-stack-split. I expect this to be a stable base for both arm64
and s390.

This series, atop of that, is in the arm64/ti-stack-split branch [2].

Since RFC [3]:
* Rely on prior patches to make thread_info arch-specific
* Make smp_processor_id() use a per-cpu variable
* Split out current_stack_pointer
* Make SMP actually work

Since v1 [4]:
* Fix irq stack entry from EL1
* Fix single step entry from EL0
* Add Laura's Tested-by
* Make comments more helpful
* Make asm-offsets use task_struct, and s/TI_*/TSK_TI_*/
* Add patch to unexport walk_stackframe
