doing a cpu_set_kpc(), just pass the entry point and argument all
the way down the fork path starting with fork1(). In order to
avoid special-casing the normal fork in every cpu_fork(), MI code
passes down child_return() and the child process pointer explicitly.
This fixes a race condition on multiprocessor systems; a CPU could
grab the newly created processes (which has been placed on a run queue)
before cpu_set_kpc() would be performed.
the child inherits the stack pointer from the parent (traditional
behavior). Like the signal stack, the stack area is secified as
a low address and a size; machine-dependent code accounts for stack
direction.
This is required for clone(2).
parent, specified at fork time. Specify a new flag to wait4(2), WALTSIG,
to wait for processes which use an alternate exit signal.
This is required for clone(2).
kthread_create(). Implement kthread_exit() (causes a thrad to exit).
Set P_NOCLDWAIT on kernel threads, which will cause any of their children
to be reparented to init(8) (which is already prepared to wait out orphaned
processes).
