2017-03-30arm64: remove redundant header file in current.hShaokun Zhang
Commint 9d84fb27fa1 ("arm64: restore get_current() optimisation") has removed read_sysreg() and asm/sysreg.h is redundant. This patch removes asm/sysreg.h header file.

2017-01-04arm64: restore get_current() optimisationMark Rutland
Commit c02433dd6de32f04 ("arm64: split thread_info from task stack") inverted the relationship between get_current() and current_thread_info(), with sp_el0 now holding the current task_struct rather than the current thead_info. The new implementation of get_current() prevents the compiler from being able to optimize repeated calls to either, resulting in a noticeable penalty in some microbenchmarks. This patch restores the previous optimisation by implementing get_current() in the same way as our old current_thread_info(), using a non-volatile asm statement.

2016-11-11arm64: split thread_info from task stackMark Rutland
This patch moves arm64's struct thread_info from the task stack into task_struct. This protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack overflows, and makes its address harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. Precise detection and handling of overflow is left for subsequent patches. Largely, this involves changing code to store the task_struct in sp_el0, and acquire the thread_info from the task struct. Core code now implements current_thread_info(), and as noted in <linux/sched.h> this relies on offsetof(task_struct, thread_info) == 0, enforced by core code. This change means that the 'tsk' register used in entry.S now points to a task_struct, rather than a thread_info as it used to. To make this clear, the TI_* field offsets are renamed to TSK_TI_*, with asm-offsets appropriately updated to account for the structural change. Userspace clobbers sp_el0, and we can no longer restore this from the stack. Instead, the current task is cached in a per-cpu variable that we can safely access from early assembly as interrupts are disabled (and we are thus not preemptible). Both secondary entry and idle are updated to stash the sp and task pointer separately.
