For negetive value of n (first argument to select) select fails with

error,

But for the same when I tested for PowerPC it was giving EFAULT,
Its on 2.6.16 kernel.

2.6.16 is really old.  I tested your testcase on a 2.6.25 based kernel

on

a ppc64 machine and it seemed to work fine.

Thanks for the info,

I am using PPC32, I think it doest not matters on 2.6.16 as I manually
checked the select source with 2.6.23 and no changes seen.
&
Even the same testcase passes on MIPS32 with 2.6.16.

Thanks
