From 6eca8933d3ff17bff39d5f10a2a22366d8622fa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Dowad Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:14:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kernel: Rename copy_thread() 'arg' argument to 'kthread_arg' The 'arg' argument to copy_thread() is only ever used when forking a new kernel thread. Hence, rename it to 'kthread_arg' for clarity.
