    rename thread_info to stack · f7e4217b
    Roman Zippel authored
    This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
    the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
    placing the thread_info structure.
    
    Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
    current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
    
    It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
    could benefit.
