In LoongArch,the stack is grows down.
As previous suggested,I implement __NR_clone3 syscall within __clone()
in loongarch port,based on __clone() interface unchanged and the
architecture-independent code of call __clone() unchanged.
In __NR_clone3 syscall,I need pass the lowest address of memory area to
clone_args.stack,and pass stack_size to clone_args.stack_size(stack_size
must not be 0)
if (kargs->stack_size == 0)
return false;
current,the __clone()'s input parameters have no "stack_size",so I can't
pass valid(must be size!=0) stack_size to clone3.
your meaning is pass stack_size=0 when the input parameter "stack" of
__clone()
is already stack point? but pass stack_size=0 is illegal.
