Another example, where --base would help me out. :) (Since I can already
see that this is missing the clone3_clear_sighand test that's scheduled
for 5.5. :))

So that function is now present in the clone3.c test you've added and
also in the clone3_clear_sighand.c under sys_clone3().
If you take [1] as your base tree you could add patches that consolidate
this definition into a header so we avoid the pointless code
duplication.
(Again, if you pass --base when doing --format-patch this will be
transparent to others.)

Nit: You can save the {0} by just doing:

struct clone_args args = {
.flags = flags,
.exit_signal = SIGCHLD,
.set_tid = (__u64)set_tid,
.set_tid_size = set_tid_size,
};

Also, I'd prefer if the cast would be done "properly" via

#define ptr_to_u64(ptr) ((__u64)((uintptr_t)(ptr)))

struct clone_args args = {
.flags = flags,
.exit_signal = SIGCHLD,
.set_tid = ptr_to_u64(set_tid),
.set_tid_size = set_tid_size,
};

If one branch needs {} all branches should have {} according to kernel
coding style.

You should probably rather check:
if (!WIFEXITED(status))
return -1;

return WEXITSTATUS(status));

Since you can also get killed by a signal.

Nit: The error checking here is inconsistent. Either do:

if (pipe(pipe_1) || pipe(pipe_2))
ksft_exit_fail_msg("pipe() failed\n");

or

if (pipe(pipe_1) < 0 || pipe(pipe_2) < 0)
ksft_exit_fail_msg("pipe() failed\n");

or == -1 but not mixed, please. :)

Hm, I'm not sure that test makes a lot of sense.

[1]:
I mean, you could really just do
if (uid == 0)
test_clone3_set_tid(set_tid, 1, CLONE_NEWPID, -EINVAL, 0, 0);
the else branch doesn't really test anything meaningful other than you
can't create new pid namespaces as an unprivileged user without also
creating a new user namespace.

Nit: please add \n between a two tests everywhere, especially if they
have comments on top of it. This is a little hard to read. :)

This is missing a comment.

Why no error checking here when the next line assumes that there is no
PID 1 in that namespace?

You could verify this...
In tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_fdinfo_test.c in my pidfd tree
is code that does this. You could just copy it. Look for
verify_fdinfo(). Though, I'll it for you to judge whether this is too
much hazzle.

Again, the missing \n makes the different tests hard to follow.

char proc_path[100];
snprintf(proc_path, sizeof(proc_path), "/proc/%d/status", pid);

should do just fine and doesn't require you to free memory.

Ugh, fgets... :) I'd feel much happier with getline().

Oh this is the verification code for fdinfo, I mentioned in [2]. Again,
maybe you want to copy verify_fdinfo() and move this into a helper.

Nit: This should probably also verify if (WIFEXITED(status)).
