This series has the aim of enabling CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for MIPS. CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK embeds the thread_info at the start of the task struct, rather than locating it at the bottom of the kernel stack. This is a step towards allowing mapped kernel stacks, and is in general a kernel hardening feature because a kernel stack overflow will not overwrite the thread_info (of course, it might overwrite something else below the stack page, but that's where mapped stacks come in...). The series is quite invasive as it needs to change some key functionality. - The first patch prevents the use of smp_processor_id() in the VDSO. This is necessary to prevent build errors when the logic behind smp_processor_id() is changed. - The next few patches change the the logic backing smp_processor_id(). Currently thread_info->cpu is used for smp_processor_id, however, thread_info->cpu ceases to exist with CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK. A copy of the processor id is already held in a CP0 register (Context / XContext) for exception entry, so we switch to using this instead. Non asm volatile accessors are added, since the CPU ID in the register is constant, and this allows the compiler to optimise multiple accesses. - The KASLR implementation is updated such that the C code does not modify the state of the relocated kernel, that is all done in assembly. - The next 2 patches fix a couple of places which assume that current_thread_info() will get them the bottom of the kernel stack. Since this will no longer be the case once CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is active, these must be fixed. - The next 3 patches tidy up the exception entry code to ease the necessary modifications to enable CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK. - With the ground work laid, we can start the real modifications. The next 3 patches migrate from keeping a copy of the kernels task stack pointer around for kernel entry, to keeping a copy of the thread info. From that the kernel stack can be found, and the thread_info can be restored into register $28 for it's kernel conventional use. - The stack walking code needs a modification to cope with the fact that kernel stacks may be freed while the task still exists, which could not happen before. - The final patch enables CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, removing thread_info->cpu & thread_info->task and changing the context switching code to expect this. This series applies on 4.15-rc1 and has been tested on QEMU malta, Boston, Ci40 & Octeon.
