Subject: [PATCH] tile: support GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD and GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:25:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201210192038.q9JKcmfO003939@farm-0010.internal.tilera.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121016223508.GR2616@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

Also provide an optimized current_pt_regs() while we're at it.
