Subject: [RFC] RISC-V: Don't set CLONE_BACKWARDS
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 17:27:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180109012756.2401-1-palmer@sifive.com> (raw)
During the glibc upstreaming it was suggested that CLONE_BACKWARDS was a
deprecated ABI decision. I think we just copied it from ARM, but I
don't see any reason to favor one over the other.
While we haven't released yet so I think it's still legal to change our
ABI, I'd actually kind of prefer to avoid changing our ABI this late in
the game. I guess this is more of an RFC than a patch: is there a
reason to avoid CLONE_BACKWARDS?
Note that I haven't tried any of this -- I'll give it some thourough
testing and submit an actual patch if this is the way we want to go.
