Hi,
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.
Diffed against 2.6.14-rc2.
Incorporates the latest LKML feedback.
