The patch titled Subject: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was all-arches-signal-move-restart_block-to-struct-task_struct-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into all-arches-signal-move-restart_block-to-struct-task_struct.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack Commit a82be12232dc ("all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct") removed restart_block from struct thread_info which was the only thing keeping supervisor_stack and the struct as a whole 64-bit aligned. This resulted in the initial stack pointer not being 64-bit aligned, so when arguments are saved to the stack with a 64-bit SETL instruction the values are corrupted resulting in a pretty early unserviced memory fault in printk. This is fixed by explicitly aligning supervisor_stack to 8 bytes.
