This patch set moves from using locally defined named registers to access the
stack pointer to using a globally defined named register. This allows the code
to work both with gcc and clang.

The LLVMLinux project aims to fully build the Linux kernel using both gcc and
clang (the C front end for the LLVM compiler infrastructure project).

Behan Webster (4):
arm64: LLVMLinux: Add current_stack_pointer() for arm64
arm64: LLVMLinux: Use current_stack_pointer in save_stack_trace_tsk
arm64: LLVMLinux: Calculate current_thread_info from
current_stack_pointer
arm64: LLVMLinux: Use current_stack_pointer in kernel/traps.c

Please can you send a new series after the merge window?
Pity. I was hoping to get it in this merge window.

However, will resubmit for 3.18.

Thanks,

Behan
