Merge tag 'cpu-to-thread_info-v5.16-rc1' of...

Merge tag 'cpu-to-thread_info-v5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull thread_info update to move 'cpu' back from task_struct from Kees Cook:
 "Cross-architecture update to move task_struct::cpu back into
  thread_info on arm64, x86, s390, powerpc, and riscv. All Acked by arch
  maintainers.

  Quoting Ard Biesheuvel:

     'Move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info

      Keeping CPU in task_struct is problematic for architectures that
      define raw_smp_processor_id() in terms of this field, as it
      requires linux/sched.h to be included, which causes a lot of pain
      in terms of circular dependencies (aka 'header soup')

      This series moves it back into thread_info (where it came from)
      for all architectures that enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, addressing
      the header soup issue as well as some pointless differences in the
      implementations of task_cpu() and set_task_cpu()'"

* tag 'cpu-to-thread_info-v5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  riscv: rely on core code to keep thread_info::cpu updated
  powerpc: smp: remove hack to obtain offset of task_struct::cpu
  sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y
  powerpc: add CPU field to struct thread_info
  s390: add CPU field to struct thread_info
  x86: add CPU field to struct thread_info
  arm64: add CPU field to struct thread_info
