[PATCH V2 10/12] selftests, powerpc: Add test for DSCR inheritence across fork & exec

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Jan 13 2015 - 05:23:57 EST


This patch adds a test case to verify that the changed DSCR value
inside any process would be inherited to it's child across the fork
and exec system call.
