Subject: Re: [PATCH] Use pid_t instead of int
Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 08:36:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57302FDA.7020205@renenyffenegger.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALCETrVyT6R6mYnVuv9vqmeCC7_TB2KZPCqfcmMyLvjbZPs+Ag@mail.gmail.com>

From: René Nyffenegger <mail@renenyffenegger.ch>

In include/linux/syscalls.h, the four functions sys_kill, sys_tgkill,
sys_tkill and sys_rt_sigqueueinfo are declared with "int pid" and
"int tgid".

However, in kernel/signal.c, the corresponding definitions use
the more appropriate "pid_t" (which is a typedef'd int).

This patch changes "int" to "pid_t" in the declarations of
sys_kill, sys_tgkill, sys_tkill and sys_rt_sigqueueinfo in
include/linux/syscalls.h in order to harmonize the function
declarations with their respective definitions.
