If this is the only reason for arch_change_pid() hook, then perhaps
it would be better/simpler to add it into de_thread() right after
change_pid(tsk, PIDTYPE_PID, task_pid(leader)) ?
note also that this way arch_change_pid() doesn't need any checks and
any arguments, you can simply do
void arch_change_pid(void)
{
S390_lowcore.current_pid = current->pid;
if (test_facility(40))
lpp(&S390_lowcore.lpp);
}
Oleg.
