[PATCH] fork.c bits for uClinux

From: Christoph Hellwig (hch@lst.de)
Date: Sat Nov 16 2002 - 17:17:18 EST


mmuless ports don't need dup_mmap nor allocation of a pgd.

I tried to avoid ifdef-mess as far as possible, and to archive that
I created small wrappers for pgd allocation/freeing and move taking
of the mmap semaphore into dup_mmap from the only caller. The end
result is just one additiona ifdef.
