The only difference is the free_thread_info function, which frees
xstate.

Use the new arch_release_task_struct() function instead and switch
over to the core allocator.

If the irq happens in user mode, our kernel stack is empty
(apart from the pt_regs themselves, of course), so there's no
need or advantage to switch.

And it really doesn't save any stack space, quite the reverse:
it means that a nested interrupt cannot switch irq stacks. So
instead of saving kernel stack space, it actually causes the
potential for *more* stack usage.

Also simplify the preemption count copy when we do switch
stacks: just copy the whole preemption count, rather than just
the softirq parts of it.  There is no advantage to the partial
copy: it is more effort to get a less correct result.

The panic_on_stackoverflow variable needs to be avilable
on the 32-bit side as well ...

Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack
overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a
high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may
corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to
reading them unless systems stop.

This patch adds the sysctl parameter
kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting
the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user
stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default.

* 'x86-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  x86: Clear irqstack thread_info
  x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils

Mathias Merz reported that v2.6.37 failed to boot on his
system.

Make sure that the thread_info part of the irqstack is
initialized to zeroes.

Go through x86 code and replace __get_cpu_var and get_cpu_var
instances that refer to a scalar and are not used for address

Commit 22d4cd4c4d ("Allocate irq stacks seperate from percpu
area") removed NUMA affinity of IRQ stacks as side-effect of
the fix.

Using alloc_pages_node() instead of __get_free_pages() is safe,
even if the target node has no available LOWMEM pages :
alloc_pages_node() fallbacks to another node.

The percpu allocator cannot handle alignments larger than one
page. Allocate the irq stacks seperately, and only keep the
pointers as percpu data.
