Pull pidfd and clone3 fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a bugfix for CLONE_PIDFD when used with the legacy clone
syscall, two fixes to ensure that syscall numbering and clone3
entrypoint implementations will stay consistent, and an update for the
maintainers file:
- The addition of clone3 broke CLONE_PIDFD for legacy clone on all
architectures that use do_fork() directly instead of calling the
clone syscall itself. (Fwiw, cleaning do_fork() up is on my todo.)
The reason this happened was that during conversion of _do_fork()
to use struct kernel_clone_args we missed that do_fork() is called
directly by various architectures. This is fixed by making sure
that the pidfd argument in struct kernel_clone_args is correctly
initialized with the parent_tidptr argument passed down from
do_fork(). Additionally, do_fork() missed a check to make
CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID mutually exclusive just a
clone() does. This is now fixed too.
- When clone3() was introduced we skipped architectures that require
special handling for fork-like syscalls. Their syscall tables did
not contain any mention of clone3().
To make sure that Arnd's work to make syscall numbers on all
architectures identical (minus alpha) was not for naught we are
placing a comment in all syscall tables that do not yet implement
clone3(). The comment makes it clear that 435 is reserved for
clone3 and should not be used.
- Also, this contains a patch to make the clone3() syscall definition
in asm-generic/unist.h conditional on __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. This
lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3
without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which is a good indicator
that they did not check whether it needs special treatment or not.
- Finally, this contains a patch to add me as maintainer for pidfd
stuff so people can start blaming me (more)"
