Hi Jeff, here is the next patch for UML/s390 preparation. If new_mm() has a vaild from_fd, it copies the LDT of from_mm to new_mm using MM_COPY_SEGMENTS. IMHO, this is arch specific. So I shifted it to init_new_ldt() in ldt.c. I did this for i386 only, because x86_64 doesn't have an ldt.c (yet?) The patch applies on top of the latest LDT fixes/improvements that AFAIK already are merged in your tree. Bodo
