[PATCH] powerpc: Wire up clone3 syscall

Mon Jul 22 23:22:31 AEST 2019


Wire up the new clone3 syscall added in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork:
add clone3").

This requires a ppc_clone3 wrapper, in order to save the non-volatile
GPRs before calling into the generic syscall code. Otherwise we hit
the BUG_ON in CHECK_FULL_REGS in copy_thread().

Lightly tested using Christian's test code on a Power8 LE VM.
