2015-12-10	powerpc: Fix DSCR inheritance over fork()	Anton Blanchard	1	-8/+0
	Two DSCR tests have a hack in them: /* * XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR * current value is copied into the thread struct * which is required for the child to inherit the * changed value. */ sleep(1); We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug. Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we had in the thread struct at last context switch.
