  It follows the internal signature:

  extern int clone3 (struct clone_args *__cl_args, size_t __size,
 int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);

The powerpc64 ABI requires an initial stackframe so the child can
store/restore the TOC.  Iit is create prior calling clone3 by
adjusting the stack size (since kernel will compute the stack as
stack plus size).

Checked on powerpc64-linux-gnu (power8, kernel 6.0) and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu (power9, kernel 4.18).

Is there reason to avoid explicitly stacking a frame in here? Also, does 
the red zone exist on ELFv1?

This is clearing the backchain pointer? Maybe a small comment here.

With scv an, an error is a value -4095 <= x < 0. This test should be 
more specific.

Minor nit, this should also use scv if supported.

I don't think so, although it allows to tail call directly to
__syscall_error.  I used powerpc64 clone.S as example, which does
something similar.

Yes, since this stack will be the initial one.  I changed the comment to:

  /* Setup a minimum stack frame for child.  It needs to first calculate
     the effective stack address, write the start empty backchain pointer,
     and update the frame size in the input cl_args.  */

To make it more clear.
