In addition to doing everything that clone() system call does, the
eclone() system call:
- allows additional clone flags (31 of 32 bits in the flags
parameter to clone() are in use)
- allows user to specify a pid for the child process in its
active and ancestor pid namespaces.
Eclone is needed for restarting a process from a checkpoint. See more
in Documentation/eclone and refer to the original LKML posting:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/11/361
The new system call for ARM has number 366.
