* MIPS: Fix watchpoint restorationJames Hogan2016-05-091-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f51246efee2b ("MIPS: Get rid of finish_arch_switch().") moved the __restore_watch() call from finish_arch_switch() (i.e. after resume() returns) to before the resume() call in switch_to(). This results in watchpoints only being restored when a task is descheduled, preventing the watchpoints from being effective most of the time, except due to chance before the watchpoints are lazily removed. Fix the call sequence from switch_to() through to mips_install_watch_registers() to pass the task_struct pointer of the next task, instead of using current. This allows the watchpoints for the next (non-current) task to be restored without reintroducing finish_arch_switch(). Fixes: f51246efee2b ("MIPS: Get rid of finish_arch_switch().")
