+Subject: [PATCH] arm/clone.S: Clear fp register, name thread_start
+
+The frame pointer register (r11 in ARM) should be cleared before
+branching into the thread main function. Otherwise tools that depend on
+frame pointers (e.g. perf) won't be able to find the end of the call
+chain and will end up reading garbage.
+
+This patch also names the function that calls the thread main function
+as thread_start. Before it was unnamed, it would appear in perf as a
+pointer, just like functions without symbols or broken backtraces, which
+can be quite confusing, especially given how many other things can
+already go wrong with frame pointers in ARM32.
