My s390 assembly is not particularly good so I have read the history of the reference to do_exit copy_thread and have been able to verify that do_exit is not used. The general argument is that s390 has been changed to use the generic kernel_thread and kernel_execve and the generic versions do not call do_exit. So it is strange to see a do_exit reference sitting there. The history of the do_exit reference in s390's version of copy_thread seems conclusive that the do_exit reference is something that lingers and should have been removed several years ago.

Remove this dead reference to do_exit to make it clear that s390 is not doing anything with do_exit in copy_thread. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <redacted> --- arch/s390/kernel/process.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
Applied to s390 tree. Just in case you want to apply this to your tree too: Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>
