x86-64: make compat_start_thread() match start_thread()
For no real good reason, compat_start_thread() was embedded inline in <asm/elf.h> whereas the native start_thread() lives in process_*.c. Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot. In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(), which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it was not needed. It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process. Note: compat_start_thread *has* to be a macro, since it is tested with start_thread_ia32() as the out of line function name. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Acked-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
