Hmm, that prototype seems to have a lot more args than the clone man
page states:

   #include <sched.h>
   int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, void *arg);
   _syscall2(int, clone, int, flags, void *, child_stack);

What are the parameters parent_tid, tls, and child_tid supposed to be?
