Summary

Early in the kernel boot, curthread goes through three stages:

  1. Kernel crash when you try to access it, because PCPU doesn't exist.
  2. NULL, because PCU exists but isn't initialized.
  3. &thread0, which is where most of the kernel boot process runs.

This broke TSLOG from inside hammer_time since the scripts which parse
logged records didn't understand that NULL meant &thread0.

Tell tslog to record &thread0 as the active thread if passed NULL.
