The 'arg' argument to copy_thread() is only ever used when forking a new
kernel thread. Hence, rename it to 'kthread_arg' for clarity (and consistency
with do_fork() and other arch-specific implementations of copy_thread()).

If you would prefer me to take this into the tile tree, let me know, and I am happy to do so.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your kind offer. I am a 100% genuine true-blue kernel newbie and have no idea whether a change like this should be merged individually by each arch maintainer, or all together at some point upstream (or is it downstream? I'm not sure about my streams). Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you again! AD
