Another possible variant is for you to merge that branch from arm64 tree
(only 3 commits it it) and then do as described above. I.e. on top of
that apply the thing below, followed by your kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()
patch (sans current_pt_regs() part), followed by obviously massaged parts
of generic sys_execve for tile patch I've sent. FWIW, I've put the
whole series (based at the end of arm64 branch) in signal.git#arch-tile.
Comments?
Drop struct pt_regs * argument in compat_sys_execve()
