Subject: [PATCH] alpha: Fix getxpid on alpha so it works for threads.
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 12:05:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1vew8i0vd.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)


While looking in the code I discovered that
alpha has fallen behind because it doesn't use sys_getppid.
The problem is that it doesn't follow the task struct
to the task_group_leader.

The following (untested) patch should fix the problem.

Eric
