I'm not finding that clone2() works -- We get a segfault in the cloned
process when it returns.

This is the program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int func(void *arg) { 
    fprintf(stderr, "In child\n"); 
    return 0;
} 
 
int main(void) 
{ 
        int pagesize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); 
        char *stack;
	int status;
        pid_t kidpid; 
 
#define STACKSIZE (pagesize*8) 
        stack = valloc(STACKSIZE); 
        if ((kidpid = __clone2(func, stack, STACKSIZE, SIGCHLD, NULL,
		    NULL,  NULL, NULL)) = -1) 
                perror("clone"); 
        else { 
                waitpid(kidpid, &status, __WALL);
                if (status) 
                   fprintf(stderr, "child failed: status %x\n", 
				   status); 
	} 
        return 0; 
}

I see:

In child
child failed: status b

where b translates to segfault.
