what will kernel_execve() does..?

[sandeep kumar <coolsandyforyou@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I m having a doubt about.. what kernel_execve() does...? As per the comment it should make the kernel thread a user space process.

I am doing a kernel bringup.

while launching the init process, i was struck in this function...

kernel_execve() in arch./arm/kernel/sys_arm.c

I am feeling i  was struck in some kind of infinite loop here..and program control is not reaching till user space init process's main function.

Can someone tell me, is there any condition that i am missing here, failing which the kernel will struck in infinite loop and doesnt switch to user space?
