Merge tag 'pr-arm32-ti-in-task' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ardb/linux into devel-stable ARM: support THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK Move thread_info off the stack and into the task struct, as is done by many other architectures. This requires a method to find the task struct of the task currently running on the CPU, which is provided in this case by the user space TLS (Thread Local Storage) register. This implies that the feature is only supported on CPUs that implement this register, i.e., ARM v6k or later. Kindly tested by Amit and reviewed by Linus. The first patch is against the GCC plugins subsystem, but was reviewed by the maintainer and can be taken through the ARM tree.
