Subject: ia64: dead code in copy_thread() since 2004
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c4aee363af2a81f9726c5fa13e136ebaf02852bd;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ia64: dead code in copy_thread() since 2004

It used to be called with NULL regs when creating idle threads on
secondaries.  Not used that way since wli had buried that kludge...
