Commit e634d8fc792c ("x86-64: merge the standard and compat
start_thread() functions") removed exporting for the start_thread()
function in what seems like a typo. Add it back to
arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c for parity with process_32.c and other
arch.

What for? Perhaps 32-bit could remove it instead?

Came across this while writing a binfmt module. Useful for me but
probably no one else on Earth, at least for another ~9 years on average.

No. start_thread() is called from various binfmt implementations which can
be built as modules.
Thanks,

Fair enough. I’m fine with the patch.

x86/process: Re-export start_thread()
The consolidation of the start_thread() functions removed the export
unintentionally. This breaks binfmt handlers built as a module.
Add it back.
