Hi Boqun,

I'm having trouble testing these, I get:

~/linus/tools/testing/selftests/cpu-opv$ ./basic_cpu_opv_test
Testing test_compare_eq same
Testing test_compare_eq different
Testing test_compare_ne same
Testing test_compare_ne different
Testing test_2compare_eq index
Testing test_2compare_ne index
Testing test_memcpy
Testing test_memcpy_u32
Testing test_add
Testing test_two_add
Testing test_or
Testing test_and
Testing test_xor
Testing test_lshift
Testing test_rshift
Testing test_cmpxchg success
Testing test_cmpxchg fail

~/linus/tools/testing/selftests/rseq$ ./basic_test
testing current cpu
testing critical section
testing critical section is interrupted by signal

~/linus/tools/testing/selftests/rseq$ ./basic_percpu_ops_test
./basic_percpu_ops_test: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI re10d8f10a0 for symbol `' out of range
~/linus/tools/testing/selftests/rseq$ ./param_test
./param_test: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI re136251b48 for symbol `' out of range


Any idea what's going on with the last two? I assume you don't see that
in your test setup :)

cheers
