Subject: [PATCH 4.9 52/87] x86/process: Optimize TIF_NOTSC switch

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 5a920155e388ec22a22e0532fb695b9215c9b34d upstream

Provide and use a toggle helper instead of doing it with a branch.
