From: Simon Schuster <[email protected]>With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit. However, the signature of the copy_* helper functions (e.g., copy_sighand) used by copy_process was not adapted. As such, they truncate the flags on any 32-bit architectures that supports clone3 (arc, arm, csky, m68k, microblaze, mips32, openrisc, parisc32, powerpc32, riscv32, x86-32 and xtensa). For copy_sighand with CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND being an actual u64 constant, this triggers an observable bug in kernel selftest clone3_clear_sighand: if (clone_flags & CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND) in function copy_sighand within fork.c will always fail given: unsigned long /* == uint32_t */ clone_flags #define CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND 0x100000000ULL This commit fixes the bug by always passing clone_flags to copy_sighand via their declared u64 type, invariant of architecture-dependent integer sizes.
