Subject: mips: copy_thread(): rename 'arg' argument to 'kthread_arg'
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e2c5aaa5fd3b4038061adf878254cceb30e41ddd;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

mips: copy_thread(): rename 'arg' argument to 'kthread_arg'

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()).
