2020-08-20	x86: switch to kernel_clone()	Christian Brauner
	The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper. The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

2020-06-22	fork: fold legacy_clone_args_valid() into _do_fork()	Christian Brauner
	This separate helper only existed to guarantee the mutual exclusivity of CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID for legacy clone since CLONE_PIDFD abuses the parent_tid field to return the pidfd. But we can actually handle this uniformely thus removing the helper. For legacy clone we can detect that CLONE_PIDFD is specified in conjunction with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID because they will share the same memory which is invalid and for clone3() setting the separate pidfd and parent_tid fields to the same memory is bogus as well. So fold that helper directly into _do_fork() by detecting this case.

2020-03-21	x86/entry/32: Use IA32-specific wrappers for syscalls taking 64-bit arguments	Brian Gerst
	For the 32-bit syscall interface, 64-bit arguments (loff_t) are passed via a pair of 32-bit registers. These register pairs end up in consecutive stack slots, which matches the C ABI for 64-bit arguments. But when accessing the registers directly from pt_regs, the wrapper needs to manually reassemble the 64-bit value. These wrappers already exist for 32-bit compat, so make them available to 32-bit native in preparation for enabling pt_regs-based syscalls.
