Series fork: Support shadow stacks in clone3() |

Commit Message

  The clone_args structure is extensible, with the syscall passing in the
length of the structure. Inside the kernel we use copy_struct_from_user()
to read the struct but this has the unfortunate side effect of silently
accepting some overrun in the structure size providing the extra data is
all zeros. This means that we can't discover the clone3() features that
the running kernel supports by simply probing with various struct sizes.
We need to check this for the benefit of test systems which run newer
kselftests on old kernels.

Add a flag which can be set on a test to indicate that clone3() may return
-E2BIG due to the use of newer struct versions. Currently no tests need
this but it will become an issue for testing clone3() support for shadow
stacks, the support for shadow stacks is already present on x86.
