I'm curious why, if you want the entire set of registers, you don't just
do:
add r0, sp, #S_OFF
b sys_eclone

and load the syscall arguments out of regs->ARM_foo. This avoids the need
for additional stores.

__user on an integer type doesn't make any sense; integer types do not
have address spaces.

This will produce sparse errors. Is there a reason why 'clone_args'
tid pointers aren't already pointers marked with __user ?

Shouldn't this already be of integer type?

So the stack must have a zero size? Is this missing a '!' ?

Hmm, so let me get this syscall interface right. We have some arguments
passed in registers and others via a (variable sized?) structure. It seems
really weird to have, eg, a pointer to the pids and the number of pids
passed in two separate ways.

The grouping between what's passed in registers and via this clone_args
structure seems to be random. Can it be sanitized?
