Subject: [PATCH] i386: Implement "current" with the PDA
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec7fcaabbfb3c5bd5189f857b6ac7bb9745ef291;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] i386: Implement "current" with the PDA

Use the pcurrent field in the PDA to implement the "current" macro.  This ends
up compiling down to a single instruction to get the current task.
