3.8.13.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit dfa9771a7c4784bafd0673bc7abcee3813088b77 upstream.
Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("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.
