[PATCH 0/7] Fix CLONE_SETTLS with clone3

From: Amanieu d'Antras
Date: Thu Jan 02 2020 - 12:24:20 EST


The clone3 syscall is currently broken when used with CLONE_SETTLS on all
architectures that don't have an implementation of copy_thread_tls. The old
copy_thread function handles CLONE_SETTLS by reading the new TLS value from
pt_regs containing the clone syscall parameters. Since clone3 passes the TLS
value in clone_args, this results in the TLS register being initialized to a
garbage value.

This patch series implements copy_thread_tls on all architectures that currently
define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and adds a compile-time check to ensure that any
architecture that enables clone3 in the future also implements copy_thread_tls.

I have also included a minor fix for the arm64 uapi headers which caused
__NR_clone3 to be missing from the exported user headers.

I have only tested this on arm64, but the copy_thread_tls implementations for
the various architectures are fairly straightforward.

Amanieu d'Antras (7):
arm64: Move __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 definition to uapi headers
arm64: Implement copy_thread_tls
arm: Implement copy_thread_tls
parisc: Implement copy_thread_tls
riscv: Implement copy_thread_tls
xtensa: Implement copy_thread_tls
clone3: ensure copy_thread_tls is implemented
