From 36cb0e1cda645ee645b85a6ce652cb46a16e14e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 16:17:28 -0500 Subject: fork: Explicity test for idle tasks in copy_thread The architectures ia64 and parisc have special handling for the idle thread in copy_process. Add a flag named idle to kernel_clone_args and use it to explicity test if an idle process is being created. Fullfill the expectations of the rest of the copy_thread implemetations and pass a function pointer in .stack from fork_idle(). This makes what is happening in copy_thread better defined, and is useful to make idle threads less special.
