[PATCH] arm: LLVMLinux: Calculate current_thread_info from fp

From: behanw
Date: Fri Sep 06 2013 - 17:48:05 EST


From: Behan Webster <behanw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use the frame pointer to calculate the start of the stack for current_thread_info()
The existing code uses the stack pointer to do this calculation.
Using the frame pointer yeilds the same value in a portable way.
This change supports being able to compile the kernel with gcc and Clang.
