Subject: [PATCH] selftests/powerpc: fix exec benchmark
Date: Sat, 12 May 2018 13:35:24 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180512033525.18762-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

The exec_target binary could segfault calling _exit(2) because r13
is not set up properly (and libc looks at that when performing a
syscall). Call SYS_exit using syscall(2) which doesn't seem to
have this problem.
