Florian,

	Does the following patch fix the problem for you?  Just like x86

	initialization itself. Hence any key created by any thread at
	any time, will get activated on all threads. So any thread
	can change the permission on that key. Smoke tested it
	with your test program.

I think this goes in the right direction, but the AMR value after
fork is still strange:

AMR (PID 34912): 0x0000000000000000
AMR after fork (PID 34913): 0x0000000000000000
AMR (PID 34913): 0x0000000000000000
Allocated key in subprocess (PID 34913): 2
Allocated key (PID 34912): 2
Setting AMR: 0xffffffffffffffff
New AMR value (PID 34912): 0x0fffffffffffffff
About to call execl (PID 34912) ...
AMR (PID 34912): 0x0fffffffffffffff
AMR after fork (PID 34914): 0x0000000000000003
AMR (PID 34914): 0x0000000000000003
Allocated key in subprocess (PID 34914): 2
Allocated key (PID 34912): 2
Setting AMR: 0xffffffffffffffff
New AMR value (PID 34912): 0x0fffffffffffffff

I mean this line:

AMR after fork (PID 34914): 0x0000000000000003

Shouldn't it be the same as in the parent process?

Fixed it. Please try this patch. If it all works to your satisfaction, I
will clean it up further and send to Michael Ellermen(ppc maintainer).


commit 51f4208ed5baeab1edb9b0f8b68d7144449b3527
Author: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>

     Fix for the fork bug.
Signed-off-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>

Is this on top of the previous patch, or a separate fix?

Thanks,
Florian
