      thread_info: include <current.h> for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK · dc3d2a67
      Mark Rutland authored
      When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, the current_thread_info()
      macro relies on current having been defined prior to its use. However,
      not all users of current_thread_info() include <asm/current.h>, and thus
      current is not guaranteed to be defined.
      
      When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected, it's possible that
      get_current() / current are based upon current_thread_info(), and
      <asm/current.h> includes <asm/thread_info.h>. Thus always including
      <asm/current.h> would result in circular dependences on some platforms.
      
      To ensure both cases work, this patch includes <asm/current.h>, but only
      when CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected.

      thread_info: factor out restart_block · 53d74d05
      Mark Rutland authored
      Since commit f56141e3 ("all arches, signal: move restart_block
      to struct task_struct"), thread_info and restart_block have been
      logically distinct, yet struct restart_block is still defined in
      <linux/thread_info.h>.
      
      At least one architecture (erroneously) uses restart_block as part of
      its thread_info, and thus the definition of restart_block must come
      before the include of <asm/thread_info>. Subsequent patches in this
      series need to shuffle the order of includes and definitions in
      <linux/thread_info.h>, and will make this ordering fragile.
      
      This patch moves the definition of restart_block out to its own header.
      This serves as generic cleanup, logically separating thread_info and
      restart_block, and also makes it easier to avoid fragility.
