commit04ff48239fupstream. With the introduction of clone3 in commit7f192e3cd3("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit. However, the signature of the copy_* helper functions (e.g., copy_sighand) used by copy_process was not adapted. As such, they truncate the flags on any 32-bit architectures that supports clone3 (arc, arm, csky, m68k, microblaze, mips32, openrisc, parisc32, powerpc32, riscv32, x86-32 and xtensa). For copy_sighand with CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND being an actual u64 constant, this triggers an observable bug in kernel selftest clone3_clear_sighand: if (clone_flags & CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND) in function copy_sighand within fork.c will always fail given: unsigned long /* == uint32_t */ clone_flags #define CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND 0x100000000ULL This commit fixes the bug by always passing clone_flags to copy_sighand via their declared u64 type, invariant of architecture-dependent integer sizes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
