Huacai Chen be769645a2 LoongArch: Add system call support
Add system call support and related uaccess.h for LoongArch.

Q: Why keep _ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE definition while there is clone3:
A: The latest glibc release has some basic support for clone3 but it is
   not complete. E.g., pthread_create() and spawni() have converted to
   use clone3 but fork() will still use clone. Moreover, some seccomp
   related applications can still not work perfectly with clone3. E.g.,
   Chromium sandbox cannot work at all and there is no solution for it,
   which is more terrible than the fork() story [1].

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.
