If the regs are garbage, copy_thread() will explode as it tries to interpret the stack pointer in that regs value.
The parent's regs (stored in current_thread_info() at trap time, and also needed by copy_thread() processing) will also be garbage since we're avoiding the fork syscall trap.
In short, this won't work :)
This is why I use kernel_thread(). Why is that so bad? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
