[PATCH v2 08/11] kprobes: switch to kernel_clone()

From: Christian Brauner <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-19 10:48:14
Also in: linux-arch, linux-kselftest, linux-m68k, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper.
The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.
