The patch titled
Subject: microblaze: fix clone syscall
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
microblaze-fix-clone-syscall.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: microblaze: fix clone syscall
Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that was
introduced in f3268edb ("microblaze: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone").
The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd slot.
This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.
All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.
