Subject: [PATCH] Unify sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~59^2~15^2~100
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dd69f1061bfdeca230509b173438e0731bff767;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] Unify sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill()

The majority of the sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill() function code is
duplicated between the two of them.  This patch pulls the duplication out
into a separate function -- do_tkill() -- and lets sys_tkill() and
sys_tgkill() be simple wrappers around it.  This should make it easier to
maintain in light of future changes.
