/*
* Copy thread.
*
+ * There are two modes in which this function is called:
+ * 1) Userspace thread creation,
+ * regs != NULL, usp_thread_fn is userspace stack pointer.
+ * It is expected to copy parent regs (in case CLONE_VM is not set
+ * in the clone_flags) and set up passed usp in the childregs.
+ * 2) Kernel thread creation,
+ * regs == NULL, usp_thread_fn is the function to run in the new thread
+ * and thread_fn_arg is its parameter.
+ * childregs are not used for the kernel threads.
+ *
* The stack layout for the new thread looks like this:
*
- * +------------------------+ <- sp in childregs (= tos)
+ * +------------------------+
* | childregs |
* +------------------------+ <- thread.sp = sp in dummy-frame
* | dummy-frame | (saved in dummy-frame spill-area)
* +------------------------+
*
- * We create a dummy frame to return to ret_from_fork:
- * a0 points to ret_from_fork (simulating a call4)
+ * We create a dummy frame to return to either ret_from_fork or
+ * ret_from_kernel_thread:
+ * a0 points to ret_from_fork/ret_from_kernel_thread (simulating a call4)
* sp points to itself (thread.sp)
- * a2, a3 are unused.
+ * a2, a3 are unused for userspace threads,
+ * a2 points to thread_fn, a3 holds thread_fn arg for kernel threads.
*
* Note: This is a pristine frame, so we don't need any spill region on top of
* childregs.
+ *
+ * The fun part: if we're keeping the same VM (i.e. cloning a thread,
+ * not an entire process), we're normally given a new usp, and we CANNOT share
+ * any live address register windows. If we just copy those live frames over,
+ * the two threads (parent and child) will overflow the same frames onto the
+ * parent stack at different times, likely corrupting the parent stack (esp.
+ * if the parent returns from functions that called clone() and calls new
+ * ones, before the child overflows its now old copies of its parent windows).
+ * One solution is to spill windows to the parent stack, but that's fairly
+ * involved. Much simpler to just not copy those live frames across.
