Subject: powerpc/kernel: Rename copy_thread() 'arg' argument to 'kthread_arg'
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6eca8933d3ff17bff39d5f10a2a22366d8622fa6;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

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.
