[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xi Kangjie <imxikangjie@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 883d50f56d263f70fd73c0d96b09eb36c34e9305 upstream.

Since kernel 4.9, the thread_info has been moved into task_struct, no
longer locates at the bottom of kernel stack.

See commits c65eacbe290b ("sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into
task_struct") and 15f4eae70d36 ("x86: Move thread_info into
task_struct").

Before fix:
  (gdb) set $current = $lx_current()
  (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current)
  $1 = {flags = 1470918301}
  (gdb) p $current.thread_info
  $2 = {flags = 2147483648}

After fix:
  (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current)
  $1 = {flags = 2147483648}
  (gdb) p $current.thread_info
  $2 = {flags = 2147483648}
