Thanks. With this patch, I get this on an LPAR: AMR (PID 1876): 0x0000000000000003 AMR after fork (PID 1877): 0x0000000000000003 AMR (PID 1877): 0x0000000000000003 Allocated key in subprocess (PID 1877): 2 Allocated key (PID 1876): 2 Setting AMR: 0xffffffffffffffff New AMR value (PID 1876): 0x0fffffffffffffff About to call execl (PID 1876) ... AMR (PID 1876): 0x0000000000000003 AMR after fork (PID 1878): 0x0000000000000003 AMR (PID 1878): 0x0000000000000003 Allocated key in subprocess (PID 1878): 2 Allocated key (PID 1876): 2 Setting AMR: 0xffffffffffffffff New AMR value (PID 1876): 0x0fffffffffffffff Test program is still this one: So the process starts out with a different AMR value for some reason. That could be a pre-existing bug that was just hidden by the reset-to-zero on fork, or it could be intentional. But the kernel code does not indicate that key 63 is reserved (POWER numbers keys from the MSB to the LSB). But it looks like we are finally getting somewhere. 8-) Thanks, Florian
