From 7f1a00b6fcd0e3c19beba2e92d157dc0c2cf3494 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:07:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix up initial thread stack pointer vs thread_info confusion The INIT_TASK() initializer was similarly confused about the stack vs thread_info allocation that the allocators had, and that were fixed in commit b235beea9e99 ("Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators"). The task ->stack pointer only incidentally ends up having the same value as the thread_info, and in fact that will change. So fix the initial task struct initializer to point to 'init_stack' instead of 'init_thread_info', and make sure the ia64 definition for that exists. This actually makes the ia64 tsk->stack pointer be sensible for the initial task, but not for any other task. As mentioned in commit b235beea9e99, that whole pointer isn't actually used on ia64, since task_stack_page() there just points to the (single) allocation. All the other architectures seem to have copied the 'init_stack' definition, even if it tended to be generally unusued.
