hi list, we noticed that kernel_thread() returned diffent types. A quick "grep -r kernel_thread() arch " will show pid_t, long and int (for 2.4.20). So we started to clean up. Everyone interessted can download the patches for 2.4.20 from www.getenv.de/~walter contact: danielebellucci@libero.it
These are several patches. i dont want to bomb the ML so no attachment to this mail.
As a first step we cleaned the definition in several architectures. The changes are small as possible. Some architectures use pure asm no understanding -> no changes
The following architectures have changed: sh i386 mips mips64 s390x s390 ia64 m68k changes occur in: arch/<ARCH>/kernel/process.c < change return type kernel_thread() to pid_t kernel_thread() >
include/asm-<ARCH>/processor.h < add linux/types.h for pid_t > < definiton change return type kernel_thread() to pid_t kernel_thread() >
additionaly we started to clean the kernel
rch/i386/kernel/ptrace.c: changed type of sys_ptrace pid argument from to pid_t (original: long)
include/linux/fs.h: changed type of pid member of struct fown_struct to pid_t (original: int)
fs/proc/base.c: change type of pid variable in proc_pid_lookup to pid_t (original: unsigned int) [See Above]
include/linux/sched.h: change type of find_task_by_pid argument (pid) from to pid_t (original: int)
kernel/capability.c: in sys_capget: change type of pid variable to pid_t (original: int) in sys_capset: change type of pid variable to pid_t (original: int)
kernel/signal.c: in sys_tkill: changed type of pid argument to pid_t (original: int)
