5d540f7 Nancy <nancydreaming@gmail.com> reported: Case "endian_switch01" FAIL on IBM Power 6 machine. The case failed on IBM JS22, p570 and p550. Is that the case bug or the OS bug? Thank you!. Subrata Modak <subrata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> replied: This will fail for all POWER machines which are not P6 & above, and, for all other archs. However, for other archs, it will throw you appropriate message like: by subrata_modak · 16 years ago

dce4aa7 Paul <paulus@samba.org> wanted the name to be endian_switch. Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@googlemail.com> seconded his suggestion. by subrata_modak · 16 years ago[Renamed (95%) from testcases/kernel/syscalls/switch/switch01.c]

cb3cae1 Looks OK as far as I can see, except that I wonder why you check for being root: since there is no restriction by the kernel on which processes can use this system call. A process can't do anything to any other process using this system call, so there's no reason to restrict it. Also you might like to call it "endian_switch()" rather than just "switch()".

de78ad0 This can only be tested on a POWER6 machine. A program to test it is attached. --Paul Mackerras. by subrata_modak · 16 years ago
