Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/19] powerpc: Rearrange copy_thread child stack creation
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:54:23 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031055440.3594315-3-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221031055440.3594315-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
This makes it a bit clearer where the stack frame is created, and will
allow easier use of some of the stack offset constants in a later
change.
