Kernel threads abuse set_child_tid. Historically that has been fine as set_child_tid was initialized after the kernel thread had been forked. Unfortunately storing struct kthread in set_child_tid after the thread is running makes struct kthread being unusable for storing result codes of the thread. When set_child_tid is set to struct kthread during fork that results in schedule_tail writing the thread id to the beggining of struct kthread (if put_user does not realize it is a kernel address). Solve this by skipping the put_user for all kthreads. Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YcNsG0Lp94V13whH@archlinux-ax161 Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
