powerpc: switch to generic fork/clone/vfork

powerpc: make fork_idle() take the common "kernel thread" path in copy_thread()

powerpc: put the "zero usp means using parent's stack pointer" to copy_thread()

2012-10-22T02:28:43+00:00

simplifies callers, at that...

powerpc: don't bother with CHECK_FULL_REGS in sys_fork() et.al.

2012-10-22T02:27:13+00:00

copy_thread() will do it anyway.

powerpc: don't bother with zero-extending arguments in sys_clone()

2012-10-22T02:25:53+00:00

... since the syscall glue had been doing that for 9 years already.

powerpc: take dereferencing to ret_from_kernel_thread()

powerpc: don't mess with r2 in copy_thread() and friends

2012-10-14T23:35:52+00:00

kernel_thread() callbacks are *not* in modules and are not going to
be there.  And it's not even read in ppc32 ret_from_kernel_thread(),
so no need to bother with it there either.

powerpc: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics

2012-10-12T01:49:08+00:00

Pull pile 2 of execve and kernel_thread unification work from Al Viro:
 "Stuff in there: kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve conversions for
  several more architectures plus assorted signal fixes and cleanups.

  There'll be more (in particular, real fixes for the alpha
  do_notify_resume() irq mess)..."
