The CLONE_KERNEL flag is defined as: #define CLONE_KERNEL (CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND) So as I understand it, when the CLONE_KERNEL flag is passed at the time of creating a kernel thread, the copy_process function copies the file descriptors and signal handlers from the currently running usermode process (denoted by the current macro) if that was running at the time the kernel thread was created?
