X-Git-Tag: next-20121026~6^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca23c3e0712f67356289817edeba67e8ba30a70e;p=karo-tx-linux.git

alpha: simplify fork and friends

* no need to restore everything from switch_stack when we only need $26
* no need to pass current_pt_regs() manually, we can just as easily
calculate it in alpha_clone/alpha_vfork ($8 + constant)
* interpretation of zero usp as "use the parent's" is simpler in copy_thread();
let fork and vfork just pass 0.
