Hm, with this patch applied I'm getting:

gcc -g -I../../../../usr/include/ clone3_set_tid.c /home/brauner/src/git/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h /home/brauner/src/git/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h -lcap -o /home/brauner/src/git/linux/linux/tools/testing/selftests/clone3/clone3_set_tid

One trick to avoid this could be:

#ifndef CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER0
#define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER0 64 /* sizeof first published struct */
#endif

#ifndef CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER1
#define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER1 80 /* sizeof second published struct */
#endif

#ifndef CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER2
#define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER2 88 /* sizeof third published struct */
#endif

struct __clone_args {
__aligned_u64 flags;
__aligned_u64 pidfd;
__aligned_u64 child_tid;
__aligned_u64 parent_tid;
__aligned_u64 exit_signal;
__aligned_u64 stack;
__aligned_u64 stack_size;
__aligned_u64 tls;
__aligned_u64 set_tid;
__aligned_u64 set_tid_size;
__aligned_u64 cgroup;
};

static pid_t sys_clone3(struct __clone_args *args, size_t size)
{
return syscall(__NR_clone3, args, size);
}
