[Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/6] linux-user: fix fork()

[Laurent Vivier]

Since commit 5ea2fc8 ("linux-user: Sanity check clone flags"),
trying to run fork() fails with old distro on some architectures.

This is the case with HP-PA and Debian 5 (Lenny).

It fails on:

         if ((flags & CSIGNAL) != TARGET_SIGCHLD) {
             return -TARGET_EINVAL;
         }

because flags is 17, whereas on HP-PA, SIGCHLD is 18.
17 is the SIGCHLD value of my host (x86_64).

It appears that for TARGET_NR_fork and TARGET_NR_vfork, QEMU calls
do_fork() with SIGCHLD instead of TARGET_SIGCHLD.
