In include/linux/thread_info.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
/*
* For CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK kernels we need <asm/current.h> for the
* definition of current, but for !CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK kernels,
* including <asm/current.h> can cause a circular dependency on some platforms.
*/
#include <asm/current.h>
#define current_thread_info() ((struct thread_info *)current)
#endif
