I don't mind the divergence in this area if the libc folks are ok with it. x86 can eventually use the clone3() interface if they want more flexibility, they'll just have to continue supporting the old one. I think we already diverge around the prctl().
Yes, though that's basically the same thing - the difference is basically just that x86 uses their custom arch_prctl() thing and we use a regular prctl(), there's nothing conceptual going on like there is here. I don't really mind either, it's just something where I'd anticipate pushback.
