From 55ccf3fe3f9a3441731aa79cf42a628fc4ecace9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 15:03:51 -0700 Subject: fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct() Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended register state like fpu there. Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.
