Sorry for the confusing. > > Ananth, could you please confirm once again that step-jump-cont (from > ptrace-tests testsuite) not fail on your machine?

In fact, different PPC64 systems have different results there (roland's git tree + your lockless patch). ibm-js20-02.lab.bos.redhat.com FAIL: watchpoint ppc-dabr-race: ./../tests/ppc-dabr-race.c:141: handler_fail: Assertion `0' failed. /bin/sh: line 5: 16928 Aborted ${dir}$tst FAIL: ppc-dabr-race syscall-reset: ./../tests/syscall-reset.c:95: main: Assertion `(*__errno_location ()) == 38' failed. errno 14 (Bad address) unexpected child status 67f FAIL: syscall-reset step-fork: ./../tests/step-fork.c:56: handler_fail: Assertion `0' failed. /bin/sh: line 5: 31144 Aborted ${dir}$tst FAIL: step-fork ibm-js22-02.rhts.bos.redhat.com ibm-js12-04.rhts.bos.redhat.com ibm-js12-05.rhts.bos.redhat.com Looks like failed only for syscall-reset and step-fork, as we have discussed before. I'll be reserving ibm-js20-02.lab.bos.redhat.com at the moment. Thanks, CAI Qian
