[uml-devel] [PATCH v4 1/2] um: Move uml_postsetup in the init_thread stack

[Thomas M. <th...@m3...>]

atomic_notifier_chain_register() and uml_postsetup() do call kernel code
that rely on the "current" kernel macro and a valid task_struct resp.
thread_info struct. Give those functions a valid stack by moving
uml_postsetup() in the init_thread stack. This moves enables a panic()
call in this early code to generate a valid stacktrace, instead of
crashing.
E.g. when an UML kernel is started with an initrd but too few physical
memory the panic() call get's actually processed.
