Subject:    [PATCH v30 24/32] x86/process: Change copy_thread() argument 'arg' to 'stack_size'
From:       Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu () intel ! com>
Date:       2021-08-30 18:15:20
Message-ID: 20210830181528.1569-25-yu-cheng.yu () intel ! com
[Download RAW message or body]

The single call site of copy_thread() passes stack size in 'arg'.  To make
this clear and in preparation of using this argument for shadow stack
allocation, change 'arg' to 'stack_size'.  No functional changes.
