This series adds support for the clone3 system call to the nios2
architecture. This addresses the build-time warning "warning: clone3()
entry point is missing, please fix" introduced in 505d66d1abfb9
("clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macro"). The implementation passes
the relevant clone3 tests of kselftest when applied on top of
next-20250815:
./run_kselftest.sh
TAP version 13
1..4
# selftests: clone3: clone3
ok 1 selftests: clone3: clone3
# selftests: clone3: clone3_clear_sighand
ok 2 selftests: clone3: clone3_clear_sighand
# selftests: clone3: clone3_set_tid
ok 3 selftests: clone3: clone3_set_tid
# selftests: clone3: clone3_cap_checkpoint_restore
ok 4 selftests: clone3: clone3_cap_checkpoint_restore
The series also includes a small patch to kernel/fork.c that ensures
that clone_flags are passed correctly on architectures where unsigned
long is insufficient to store the u64 clone_flags.
