parisc: Move thread_info into task struct

2021-11-01T06:35:59Z

This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option. With this change: - before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack - now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure - the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms - drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle

riscv: Improve stack randomisation on RV64

2021-09-11T05:25:34Z

This enlarges the bits availiable for stack randomisation on RV64 from the default of 8MiB to 1GiB, to match arm64 and x86. Also, update the documentation to reflect our support for stack randomisation. Signed-off-by: Kefeng Wang [Palmer: commit text] Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

Documentation/features: mark BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH doesn't apply to ARM64

2021-03-15T19:17:40Z

BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU) and when a task is getting a new ASID. So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are not needed on some architectures.
