On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are often used close to each other. Move definition of current_task to kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline. Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline. For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to kernel/cpu/common.c. Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was suggested by Linus Torvalds.
