thread_info part 2: encapsulates the rest of arch-dependent operations with thread_info access. Two new helpers - setup_thread_info() and end_of_stack(). For normal case the former consists of copying thread_info of parent to new thread_info and the latter returns pointer immediately past the end of thread_info.
Again, normal platforms are obviously safe. Note that end_of_stack() is need since unlike the default case, m68k has only a single pointer in stack - not the entire thread_info. So DEBUG_STACK_USAGE needs to be a bit different there. diff -urN RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/include/linux/sched.h RC12-rc3-other_helpers/include/linux/sched.h --- RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/include/linux/sched.h Wed Apr 20 22:51:13 2005 +++ RC12-rc3-other_helpers/include/linux/sched.h Wed Apr 20 22:51:15 2005 @@ -1104,6 +1104,16 @@ #define task_thread_info(task) (task)->thread_info +static inline void setup_thread_info(struct task_struct *p, struct thread_info *ti) +{ + *ti = *p->thread_info; +} + +static inline unsigned long *end_of_stack(struct task_struct *p) +{ + return (unsigned long *)(p->thread_info + 1); +} + /* set thread flags in other task's structures * - see asm/thread_info.h for TIF_xxxx flags available */ diff -urN RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/kernel/fork.c RC12-rc3-other_helpers/kernel/fork.c --- RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/kernel/fork.c Wed Apr 20 22:51:13 2005 +++ RC12-rc3-other_helpers/kernel/fork.c Wed Apr 20 22:51:15 2005 @@ -169,8 +169,8 @@ return NULL; } - *ti = *orig->thread_info; *tsk = *orig; + setup_thread_info(tsk, ti); tsk->thread_info = ti; ti->task = tsk; diff -urN RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/kernel/sched.c RC12-rc3-other_helpers/kernel/sched.c --- RC12-rc3-task_thread_info/kernel/sched.c Wed Apr 20 22:51:13 2005 +++ RC12-rc3-other_helpers/kernel/sched.c Wed Apr 20 22:51:15 2005 @@ -3945,10 +3945,10 @@ #endif #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE { - unsigned long * n = (unsigned long *) (p->thread_info+1); + unsigned long * n = end_of_stack(p); while (!*n) n++; - free = (unsigned long) n - (unsigned long)(p->thread_info+1); + free = (unsigned long) n - (unsigned long) end_of_stack(p); } #endif printk("%5lu %5d %6d ", free, p->pid, p->parent->pid); - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
