(In reply to Alex Henrie from comment #0) > Created attachment 179841 [details] > iopl3 test program > > `man iopl` currently states "Permissions are inherited by fork(2) and > execve(2)." This is not true. iopl has never been preserved across fork or > execve on x64 kernels,[1] and it has not been preserved across those > syscalls on x86 kernels since Linux 3.7.[2] There are no plans to change the > current behavior for either architecture.[3-6] Okay -- I'll come up with some man page text, but first I have a question in the other bug.
