Hi Christian,

Thanks for the test.

This actually oopses on powerpc, it hits the BUG_ON in CHECK_FULL_REGS
in process.c around line 1633:

} else {
/* user thread */
struct pt_regs *regs = current_pt_regs();
CHECK_FULL_REGS(regs);
*childregs = *regs;
if (usp)


So I'll have to dig into how we fix that before we wire up clone3.

Turns out testing is good! :)

cheers
