Michael Ellerman eafd825ed7 powerpc/64: Simplify __secondary_start paca->kstack handling 
In __secondary_start() we load the thread_info of the idle task of the
secondary CPU from current_set[cpu], and then convert it into a stack
pointer before storing that back to paca->kstack.

As pointed out in commit f761622e59 ("powerpc: Initialise
paca->kstack before early_setup_secondary") it's important that we
initialise paca->kstack before calling the MMU setup code, in
particular slb_initialize(), because it will bolt the SLB entry for
the kstack into the SLB.

However we have already setup paca->kstack in cpu_idle_thread_init(),
since commit 3b5750644b ("[POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel
stack on secondary cpus") (May 2008).

It's also in cpu_idle_thread_init() that we initialise current_set[cpu]
with the thread_info pointer, so there is no issue of the timing being
different between the two.

Therefore the initialisation of paca->kstack in __setup_secondary() is
completely redundant, so remove it.

This has the added benefit of removing code that runs in real mode,
and is therefore restricted by the RMO, and so opens the way for us to
enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
