[PATCH] powerpc: Merge thread_info.h
Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h. They were pretty similar already, the chief changes are: - Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(), which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an asm("r1") register variable. gcc turns it into the same asm as we used to have for both platforms. - We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64 'syscall_noerror' field. The noerror flag was in fact the only thing in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store when clearing the flag. - In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to allocate the kernel stack. With this patch we do the same for ppc32, since there's no strong reason not to. - For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as on ppc32. Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).
