    SubjectRe: [RFC, PATCH 1/3] introduce SYS_CLONE_MASK
    DateSun, 8 Apr 2007 19:06:00 -0700 (PDT)
    I concur with Eric's assessment.  Adding new magic bits to the generic
    clone path seems like a poor way to cope with kernel threads.  I think
    it's better if kernel thread setup gets less like normal user process
    setup.  I also agree with Eric that PPID of 0 is a very natural way for
    kernel threads to be displayed.  We need to know more about the nature
    of the compatibility issue in procps to judge whether there is good
    reason to avoid changing it.
    
    
    Thanks,
    Roland
