[PATCH v5 24/32] x86/entry: Get rid of pt_regs_to_thread_info()

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Mon Jul 11 2016 - 16:57:10 EST


From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It was a nice optimization while it lasted, but thread_info is moving
and this optimization will no longer work.

Quoting Linus:

Oh Gods, Andy. That pt_regs_to_thread_info() thing made me want
to do unspeakable acts on a poor innocent wax figure that looked
_exactly_ like you.
