Enable CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, which embeds the thread_info at the
start of the task struct, rather than locating it at the bottom of the
kernel stack. This is a step towards allowing mapped kernel stacks, and
is in general a kernel hardening feature because a kernel stack overflow
will not overwrite the thread_info (of course, it might overwrite
something else below the stack page, but that's where mapped stacks come
in...).
- Load the initial $28 with the init_task.
- Add a arch specific current.h, which replaces reading
current_thread_info from $28 with reading $current. The generic kernel
provides current_thread_info when CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is
enabled.
- When resume()ing a thread, pass the task's stack pointer rather that
using task_thread_info() to get the stack base.
- Remove task and cpu members from the thread_info struct. Task is
redundant since current / current_thread_info are now aliases to the
same structure. The cpu field is not managed by the generic kernel when
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is active, since task->cpu replaces it.
- Fix up all locations which get the task struct from the thread_info.
They are now one and the same so the pointer dereference can be
removed.
Since this is quite an invasive change, here is quantification of it's
impact. All tests are from start of series to this patch with a 64r6
defconfig on Boston platform.
