From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 00:59:12 -0700 Subject: x86/xen/64, x86/entry/64: Clean up SP code in cpu_initialize_context()
From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit f16b3da1dc936c0f8121741d0a1731bf242f2f56 upstream.
I'm removing thread_struct::sp0, and Xen's usage of it is slightly dubious and unnecessary. Use appropriate helpers instead.
While we're at at, reorder the code slightly to make it more obvious what's going on.
