2017-02-08seccomp: on s390 the clone() parameters are reversedLennart Poettering
Add a bit of code that tries to get the right parameter order in place for some of the better known architectures, and skips restrict_namespaces for other archs. This also bypasses the test on archs where we don't know the right order. In this case I didn't bother with testing the case where no filter is applied, since that is hopefully just an issue for now, as there's nothing stopping us from supporting more archs, we just need to know which order is right. Fixes: #5241
2016-05-29util-lib: Add sparc64 support for process creation (#3348)Michael Karcher
The current raw_clone function takes two arguments, the cloning flags and a pointer to the stack for the cloned child. The raw cloning without passing a "thread main" function does not make sense if a new stack is specified, as it returns in both the parent and the child, which will fail in the child as the stack is virgin. All uses of raw_clone indeed pass NULL for the stack pointer which indicates that both processes should share the stack address (so you better don't pass CLONE_VM). This commit refactors the code to not require the caller to pass the stack address, as NULL is the only sensible option. It also adds the magic code needed to make raw_clone work on sparc64, which does not return 0 in %o0 for the child, but indicates the child process by setting %o1 to non-zero. This refactoring is not plain aesthetic, because non-NULL stack addresses need to get mangled before being passed to the clone syscall (you have to apply STACK_BIAS), whereas NULL must not be mangled. Implementing the conditional mangling of the stack address would needlessly complicate the code. raw_clone is moved to a separete header, because the burden of including the assert machinery and sched.h shouldn't be applied to every user of missing_syscalls.h
