[v5,26/32] sched: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct

Commit Message

Andy Lutomirski July 11, 2016, 8:53 p.m. UTC

If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT,
then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first
entry of task_struct.  thread_info::task is removed (it serves no
purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and
thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct.

This is heavily based on a patch written by Linus.
