Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Introduce a new clone4 syscall with more flag bits and
extensible arguments
clone() has no more usable flags available. It has three now-unused
flags (CLONE_PID, CLONE_DETACHED, and CLONE_STOPPED), but current
kernels just ignore those flags without returning an error like EINVAL,
so reusing those flags would not allow userspace to detect the
availability of the new functionality.
Introduce a new system call, clone4, which accepts a second 32-bit flags
field. clone4 also returns EINVAL for the currently unused flags in
clone, allowing their reuse.
To process these new flags, change the flags argument of _do_fork to a
u64. sys_clone and do_fork both still use "unsigned long" for flags as
they did before, truncating it to 32-bit and masking out the obsolete
flags to behave like clone currently does.
clone4 accepts its remaining arguments as a structure, and userspace
passes in the size of that structure. clone4 has well-defined semantics
that allow extending that structure in the future. New userspace
passing in a larger structure than the kernel expects will receive
EINVAL, and can use a smaller structure to work with old kernels. New
kernels accept smaller argument structures passed by userspace, and any
un-passed arguments default to 0.
clone4 handles arguments in the same order on all architectures, with no
backwards variations; to do so, it depends on the new
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.
The new system call currently accepts exactly the same flags as clone;
future commits will introduce new flags for additional functionality.
