Subject: arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementation
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c34501d21b005a6e363386a19519bd11cf92a67c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementation

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.
