Hi,

I agree this point.
In the implementation,I found a problem:
In order to implement __NR_clone3 syscall in __clone(),
I need to fill struct clone_args,I found clone_args.stack
point to the lowest address of stack,but the input parameter
"stack" of __clone() point to stack bottom(STACK_GROWS_DOWN),
because of no stack_size,I can't convert between them.
Do you have any good suggestions?
