PPC is broken in mainline due to missing private futex support. The attached patch attempts to enable PPC for private futexes. I am not sure if I reverse engineered the i386/x86_64 changes correctly so a close inspection would be appreciated (especially for lll_futex_wake_unlock!). With the attached patch powerpc32/powerpc64 makes/make checks cleanly on a none-private futex eanbled kernel. Paul what is the status of private futex support powerpc64 kernels? thanks
