From cf587db2ee0261c74d04f61f39783db88a0b65e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Christie Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:03:23 -0600 Subject: kernel: Allow a kernel thread's name to be set in copy_process This patch allows kernel users to pass in the thread name so it can be set during creation instead of having to use set_task_comm after the thread is created.
