I know the feeling!

No worries, happy to help where I can.
In the intervening five minutes I remembered how we handle this, we just
need a little wrapper to save the non-volatile regs:
_GLOBAL(ppc_clone3)
bl save_nvgprs
bl sys_clone3
b .Lsyscall_exit
A while back I meant to make it generate those automatically based on a
flag in the syscall.tbl but of course haven't got around to it :)
So with the above it seems all good:
$ ./clone3 ; echo $?
Parent process received child's pid 4204 as return value
Parent process received child's pidfd 3
Parent process received child's pid 4204 as return argument
Child process with pid 4204
0
I'll send a patch to wire it up on Monday.
cheers
