Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] tst_clone: Fix child detection on sparc
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 23:27:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928212713.2832800-1-anders.roxell@linaro.org> (raw)
On sparc the clone syscall does not return 0 in the child. It returns
the parent pid, so the child thinks it is the parent.
Save the pid before the clone and compare it after.
