* kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread() or
kernel_execve(); kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback
run before we return to userland, the callbacks either never return or
do successful do_execve() before returning. kernel_execve() is a wrapper
for do_execve() - it doesn't need to do transition to user mode anymore.
kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are arch-independent now - they
live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c
and it's completely architecture-independent.
* daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
* struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
* sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in pt_regs
on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in kernel/fork.c
now.
All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of
that stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases
it's literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this
one). Please, pull from
