Revision c8061485a0d7569a865a3cc3c63347b0f42b3765 authored by Heiko Carstens on 19 October 2016, 18:28:11 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 20 October 2016, 11:27:47 UTC
The following commit: c65eacbe290b ("sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct") ... made 'struct thread_info' a generic struct with only a single ::flags member, if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT=y is selected. This change however seems to be quite x86 centric, since at least the generic preemption code (asm-generic/preempt.h) assumes that struct thread_info also has a preempt_count member, which apparently was not true for x86. We could add a bit more #ifdefs to solve this problem too, but it seems to be much simpler to make struct thread_info arch specific again. This also makes the conversion to THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT a bit easier for architectures that have a couple of arch specific stuff in their thread_info definition. The arch specific stuff _could_ be moved to thread_struct. However keeping them in thread_info makes it easier: accessing thread_info members is simple, since it is at the beginning of the task_struct, while the thread_struct is at the end. At least on s390 the offsets needed to access members of the thread_struct (with task_struct as base) are too large for various asm instructions. This is not a problem when keeping these members within thread_info.
