Hi all! I'm trying to port linux on a new target architecture. I've been editing the /arch/.../kernel/process.c file (from another architecture) and came across the "int arch_kernel_thread(int (*fn)(void*), void * arg, unsigned long flags)" function. The comment above the function says, it creates a kernel thread. There is some inline assemly-code in the body of the function and I don't know, what it does. Does anyone have an idea, what this function should generally do? Should it set some of the CPU Registers or do something with the kernel stack?
