In the header it's:
extern int copy_thread(unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned long,
struct task_struct *, unsigned long);
And the various arch implementations call the stack size: arg,
kthread_arg, stk_sz, etc.
Adding names to the prototype would conflict with the some arch's names
unless they were all unified. Is it a worthwhile refactor?
