The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value will be garbage. The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to also implement copy_thread_tls(). My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3(). While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing: ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. This series also includes a minor fix for the arm64 uapi headers which caused __NR_clone3 to be missing from the exported user headers. Unfortunately the series came in a little late especially given that it touches a range of architectures. Due to the holidays not all arch maintainers responded in time probably due to their backlog. Will and Arnd have thankfully acked the arm specific changes. Given that the changes are straightforward and rather minimal combined with the fact the that clone3() with CLONE_SETTLS is broken I decided to send them post rc3 nonetheless" * tag 'clone3-tls-v5.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: um: Implement copy_thread_tls clone3: ensure copy_thread_tls is implemented xtensa: Implement copy_thread_tls riscv: Implement copy_thread_tls parisc: Implement copy_thread_tls arm: Implement copy_thread_tls arm64: Implement copy_thread_tls arm64: Move __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 definition to uapi headers |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
