    [PATCH] threading fix, tid-2.5.47-A3 · 5c72e210
    Ingo Molnar authored
    This introduces the sys_set_thread_address() syscall.  It sets the tid
    address (which gets cleared at VM release time) and returns the PID so
    that the newly initialized 'initial thread' does not have to do an
    additional sys_gettid() call.
    
    It is used to bootstrap a thread group where the original thread user
    hasn't had a tid address assigned to it by any parent.
