 - Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are
 leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult.

+Changes since v8:
+ - Rebased on e589b79e40d9 ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and 'fixes' into merge")
+  ==> Main impact was conflicts due to commit 9a8dd708d547 ("memblock: rename memblock_alloc{_nid,_try_nid} to memblock_phys_alloc*")

+Changes since v7:

+
+Changes since v6:
+ - Fixed validate_sp() to exclude NULL sp in 'regain entire stack space' patch (early crash with CONFIG_KMEMLEAK)
+
+Changes since v5:
+ - Fixed livepatch_sp setup by using end_of_stack() instead of hardcoding
+ - Fixed PPC_BPF_LOAD_CPU() macro
+
+Changes since v4:
+ - Fixed a build failure on 32bits SMP when include/generated/asm-offsets.h is not
+ already existing, was due to spaces instead of a tab in the Makefile
+
+Changes since RFC v3: (based on Nick's review)
+ - Renamed task_size.h to task_size_user64.h to better relate to what it contains.
+ - Handling of the isolation of thread_info cpu field inside CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs moved to a separate patch.
+ - Removed CURRENT_THREAD_INFO macro completely.
+ - Added a guard in asm/smp.h to avoid build failure before _TASK_CPU is defined.
+ - Added a patch at the end to rename 'tp' pointers to 'sp' pointers
+ - Renamed 'tp' into 'sp' pointers in preparation patch when relevant
+ - Fixed a few commit logs
+ - Fixed checkpatch report.
