Subject: copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltree
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=edd3cb05c00a040dc72bed20b14b5ba865188bce;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltree

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.
