powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
This patch activates 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.
This has the following consequences:
- thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
- The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
CONFIG_SMP is active.
- thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.
This patch:
- Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
- Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
- Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
- Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without
including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
between ASM constants and C constants.
- Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer
argument.
