The purpose of this serie is to activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.

Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are
leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult.

Changes since RFC v3: (based on Nick's review)
 - Renamed task_size.h to task_size_user64.h to better relate to what it contains.
 - Handling of the isolation of thread_info cpu field inside CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs moved to a separate patch.
 - Removed CURRENT_THREAD_INFO macro completely.
 - Added a guard in asm/smp.h to avoid build failure before _TASK_CPU is defined.
 - Added a patch at the end to rename 'tp' pointers to 'sp' pointers
 - Renamed 'tp' into 'sp' pointers in preparation patch when relevant
 - Fixed a few commit logs
 - Fixed checkpatch report.

Changes since RFC v2:
 - Removed the modification of names in asm-offsets
 - Created a rule in arch/powerpc/Makefile to append the offset of current->cpu in CFLAGS
 - Modified asm/smp.h to use the offset set in CFLAGS
 - Squashed the renaming of THREAD_INFO to TASK_STACK in the preparation patch
 - Moved the modification of current_pt_regs in the patch activating CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

Changes since RFC v1:
 - Removed the first patch which was modifying header inclusion order in timer
 - Modified some names in asm-offsets to avoid conflicts when including asm-offsets in C files
 - Modified asm/smp.h to avoid having to include linux/sched.h (using asm-offsets instead)
 - Moved some changes from the activation patch to the preparation patch.

Christophe Leroy (9):
  book3s/64: avoid circular header inclusion in mmu-hash.h
  powerpc: Only use task_struct 'cpu' field on SMP
  powerpc: Prepare for moving thread_info into task_struct
  powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
  powerpc: regain entire stack space
  powerpc: 'current_set' is now a table of task_struct pointers
  powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU
  powerpc/64: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO
  powerpc: clean stack pointers naming

We need to fixup bpf_jit32.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
#define PPC_BPF_LOAD_CPU(r)		\
	do { BUILD_BUG_ON(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct paca_struct, paca_index) != 2);	\
		PPC_LHZ_OFFS(r, 13, offsetof(struct paca_struct, paca_index));	\
	} while (0)
#else
#define PPC_BPF_LOAD_CPU(r)     \
	do { BUILD_BUG_ON(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct thread_info, cpu) != 4);		\
		PPC_LHZ_OFFS(r, (1 & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1)),			\
				offsetof(struct thread_info, cpu));		\
	} while(0)
#endif
#else
#define PPC_BPF_LOAD_CPU(r) do { PPC_LI(r, 0); } while(0)
#endif
