Subject: [PATCH] alpha: Implement "current_stack_pointer"

To follow the existing per-arch conventions replace open-coded use
of asm "$30" as "current_stack_pointer". This will let it be used in
non-arch places (like HARDENED_USERCOPY).

Thanks for the patch! This was included in my pull request today and
is now upstream in Linus' tree.

[trimming Cc list for hijacked thread]

Hi Matt,

I remember that Stephen Rothwell mentioned he dropped a couple of
architecture trees from linux-next due to long inactivity, and I
see that none of your branches are included any more. Should

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mattst88/alpha.git/log/?h=for-linus

or the (currently empty) alpha-next branch be added back there?

There has never been an alpha branch in linux-next.

I would welcome one, however ;-)
