[PATCH 3/5] x86: Remove previous_esp from i386 thread_info structure

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-x86-Remove-previous_esp-from-i386-thread_info-struct.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4389 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).

The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).

By moving previous_esp out of thread_info, and just placing it
above the thread_info of the current stack, we can still use
the stacks to daisy chain which stack was in use when preempted by
an interrupt.
