Specifically, when invoking the clone syscall with certain flags, it results in the error "errno=22 (Invalid argument)" due to the absence of corresponding handling code in QEMU. - -Upon further investigation, I pinpointed the probable cause. QEMU user mode appears to check if the flags for the clone syscall include all the flags defined in CLONE_THREAD_FLAGS. If there is a mismatch, it returns "-TARGET_EINVAL". - -[source code](https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/linux-user/syscall.c?ref_type=heads#L6564) - -The current CLONE_THREAD_FLAGS in QEMU are set to include: (CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SYSVSEM). - -However, in my MIPS program, the flags are only: (CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND). - -Aligning my MIPS program to include all the flags as per CLONE_THREAD_FLAGS alters the clone syscall's behavior, deviating from the original semantics required by my MIPS program. - -I am seeking guidance on whether there is a way in QEMU user mode's MIPS syscall handling to exclusively use the flags (CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | CLONE_SIGHAND). Alternatively, I am interested in any possible approach to enable support for the MIPS architecture's clone syscall in QEMU user mode. - -Thank you for your time and assistance. -Steps to reproduce: -1.
