Subject: [PATCH 4/6] powerpc: Define ppr in thread_struct
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:55:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351666515.32304.17.camel@hbabu-laptop> (raw)
[PATCH 4/6] powerpc: Define ppr in thread_struct
ppr in thread_struct is used to save PPR and restore it before process exits
from kernel.
This patch sets the default priority to 3 when tasks are created such
that users can use 4 for higher priority tasks.
