https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118241 Bug ID: 118241 Summary: clone(2) gives wrong prototype for raw system call Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: b7.10110111@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No clone(2) man gives the following prototype for the raw system call: long clone(unsigned long flags, void *child_stack, void *ptid, void *ctid, struct pt_regs *regs); But actual kernel never seems to take `struct pt_regs* regs` as an argument. Instead it takes `struct user_desc* tls`. See the definitions of clone in kernel/fork.c. None of the #if branches have anything resembling `struct pt_regs`, but all do have `tls`. You can see another evidence of this in arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S: * The 32-bit clone ABI is: clone(..., int tls_val, int *child_tidptr). * The 64-bit clone ABI is: clone(..., int *child_tidptr, int tls_val). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
