This more closely resembles what glibc does.
The last version had a push/popq %ebp. But, after looking at the glibc
code, I believe this to be unnecessary on 64-bit. Suka also pointed out
that we were neglecting to pull the subthread's function argument off
the stack.
I also changed the register being used for the subthread variable to be
rax. This is just to more closely resemble the glibc code. It doesn't
hurt to use it this way mostly because we overwrite it for the exit
syscall anyway.
int eclone(long flags_low, struct clone_args *clone_args, long args_size,
int *pids)
{
long retval;
__asm__ __volatile__(
"movq %5, %%r10\n\t" /* pids in r10*/
"syscall\n\t" /* Linux/x86_64 system call */
"testq %0,%0\n\t" /* check return value */
"jne 1f\n\t" /* jump if parent */
"popq %%rax\n\t" /* get subthread function */
"popq %%rdi\n\t" /* get the subthread function arg */
"call *%%rax\n\t" /* start subthread function */
"movq %6,%0\n\t"
"syscall\n" /* exit system call: exit subthread */
"1:\n\t"
:"=a" (retval)
:"0" (__NR_clone3),/* eax */
"D" (flags_low), /* rdi */
"S" (clone_args), /* rsi */
"d" (args_size), /* rdx */
"m" (pids), /* gets moved to r10 */
"i" (__NR_exit)
:"rbx", "rcx", "r8", "r9", "r10"
);
if (retval < 0) {
errno = -retval;
retval = -1;
}
return retval;
}
