## Overview

Your new clone system call should look like this: `int
clone(void(*fcn)(void*), void *arg1, void *arg2, void *stack)`. This call
creates a new kernel thread which shares the calling process's address
space. File descriptors are copied as in `fork()`. The new process uses
`stack` as its user stack, which is passed two arguments (`arg1` and `arg2`)
and uses a fake return PC (`0xffffffff`); a proper thread will simply call
`exit()` when it is done (and not `return`). The stack should be one page in
size and page-aligned. The new thread starts executing at the address
specified by `fcn`. As with `fork()`, the PID of the new thread is returned to
the parent (for simplicity, threads each have their own process ID).

The other new system call is `int join(void **stack)`. This call waits for a
child thread that shares the address space with the calling process to
