/* The userland implementation is:
   int clone (int (*fn)(void *arg), void *child_stack, int flags, void *arg),
   the kernel entry is:
   int clone (long flags, void *child_stack).

   The parameters are passed in register and on the stack from userland:
   rdi: fn
   rsi: child_stack
   rdx:	flags
   rcx: arg
   r8d:	TID field in parent
   r9d: thread pointer
%esp+8:	TID field in child

   The kernel expects:
   rax: system call number
   rdi: flags
   rsi: child_stack
   rdx: TID field in parent
   r10: TID field in child
   r8:	thread pointer  */
