powerpc/64: Initialise thread_info for emergency stacks
commit 34f19ff1 upstream. Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in particular means garbage preempt_count values. Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be garbage. To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize the thread_info.

Fix crashes on Cell by setting preempt_count to 0 not HARDIRQ_OFFSET] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - There's only one emergency stack - No need to call klp_init_thread_info() - Add the ti variable in emergency_stack_init()] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
