Subject: [PATCH 2/4] drivers/tty: Compute current directly
Date: Tue,  3 Jan 2017 13:43:12 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483479794-14013-3-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1483479794-14013-1-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net>

This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference
(which is obviously == current), to directly use get_current()
macro. This is to make the removal of setting foreign task
states smoother and painfully obvious. Performance win on some
archs such as x86-64 and ppc64 -- arm64 is no longer an issue:
