Looks good from my side. I ran the usual set we use as smoke test
(syscalls, selection of mem/io/etc.) on
  RHEL6.2 through RHEL6.8 (i386, x86_64, ppc64, s390x)
  RHEL7.0 through RHEL7.2 (x86_64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, aarch64)
and ran mostly into known bugs in kernel / glibc.

Other than known issues, there were couple failures to note:

epoll_wait02
There is a tolerance, but it goes only one way (oversleep).
I occasionally see it waking up a ms earlier and then testcase
reports it as failure. This was new addition, so there are
no historical data for comparison.

personality01
PER_LINUX32 is masked on powerpc as PER_LINUX, so this
always fails.

arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls.c:
long ppc64_personality(unsigned long personality)
{
        long ret;

        if (personality(current->personality) == PER_LINUX32
            && personality(personality) == PER_LINUX)
                personality = (personality & ~PER_MASK) | PER_LINUX32;
        ret = sys_personality(personality);
        if (personality(ret) == PER_LINUX32)
                ret = (ret & ~PER_MASK) | PER_LINUX;
        return ret;
}

Regards,
Jan
