When you signed off patch better to use 'git commit -sm "xxx"'
otherwise patch has no signature:

  Signed-off-by: Chris Wailes <chriswailes@google.com>

Also, the next patch version better to have "v2" keywords:

  git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v2" -1 

add notes like "v2: blablabla..." via:

  git notes add

In LTP, these HAVE_* macros are typically generated by the configure
script (autoconf). The configure script checks for the existence of
types, functions, and headers in the system, and defines corresponding
macros in config.h.

But here you use a non_exist HAVE_CLONE_ARGS, I think we should to
use HAVE_CLONE3 or add struct clone_args check there(then we can
use HAVE_STRUCT_CLONE_ARGS).

See: ltp/configure.ac

Here as well.

You can check with:

  grep -r "HAVE_CLONE3_WRAPPER" configure.ac m4/ include/config.h.in

before using unsure macros.

We need to modify it in clone304.c as well.

The rest part looks good.
