Subject: [PATCH 120/133] microblaze: fix clone syscall

3.8.13.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@...inx.com>

commit dfa9771a7c4784bafd0673bc7abcee3813088b77 upstream.

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.
