Microblaze was assign to CLONE_BACKWARDS type where
parent tid was passed via 3rd argument.
Microblaze glibc is using 4th argument for it.

Create new CLONE_BACKWARDS3 type where stack_size is passed
via 3rd argument, parent thread id pointer via 4th,
child thread id pointer via 5th and tls value as 6th
argument

Inconsistency was introduced by this patch:
"microblaze: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone"
(sha1: f3268edbe6fe0ce56e62c6d6b14640aeb04864b7)

 - Add information about the first broken patch - Suggested by Andrew

Hi Al,

We have found this problem based on debugging timer_create()
reported by customer which wasn't cover by LTP testing.
What tool do you use for syscall testing?

IRC there was any discussion about adding syscall tests
directly to the kernel.

I am not sure if there is more elegant way how to fix this
in syscalls.h.

Thanks,
Michal
