[PATCH 4/7] aarch64: Add the clone3 wrapper

Adhemerval Zanella adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org
Wed Sep 28 20:46:31 GMT 2022


It follow the internal signature:

  extern int clone3 (struct clone_args *__cl_args, size_t __size,
 int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);

And x86_64 semantics to return EINVAL if either cl_args or func
is NULL.  The stack is 16-byte aligned prior executing func.

Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu.
