Pull pidfd and clone3 fixes from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bugfix for CLONE_PIDFD when used with the legacy clone syscall, two fixes to ensure that syscall numbering and clone3 entrypoint implementations will stay consistent, and an update for the maintainers file: - The addition of clone3 broke CLONE_PIDFD for legacy clone on all architectures that use do_fork() directly instead of calling the clone syscall itself. (Fwiw, cleaning do_fork() up is on my todo.) The reason this happened was that during conversion of _do_fork() to use struct kernel_clone_args we missed that do_fork() is called directly by various architectures. This is fixed by making sure that the pidfd argument in struct kernel_clone_args is correctly initialized with the parent_tidptr argument passed down from do_fork(). Additionally, do_fork() missed a check to make CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID mutually exclusive just a clone() does. This is now fixed too. - When clone3() was introduced we skipped architectures that require special handling for fork-like syscalls. Their syscall tables did not contain any mention of clone3(). To make sure that Arnd's work to make syscall numbers on all architectures identical (minus alpha) was not for naught we are placing a comment in all syscall tables that do not yet implement clone3(). The comment makes it clear that 435 is reserved for clone3 and should not be used. - Also, this contains a patch to make the clone3() syscall definition in asm-generic/unist.h conditional on __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. This lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3 without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which is a good indicator that they did not check whether it needs special treatment or not. - Finally, this contains a patch to add me as maintainer for pidfd stuff so people can start blaming me (more)" * tag 'for-linus-20190715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: MAINTAINERS: add new entry for pidfd api unistd: protect clone3 via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 arch: mark syscall number 435 reserved for clone3 clone: fix CLONE_PIDFD support
