[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 067/107] s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Aug 05 2015 - 18:04:40 EST


3.19.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f9c87a6f46d508eae0d9ae640be98d50f237f827 upstream.

If the kernel is compiled with gcc 5.1 and the XZ compression option
the decompress_kernel function calls _sclp_print_early in 64-bit mode
while the content of the upper register half of %r6 is non-zero.
This causes a specification exception on the servc instruction in
_sclp_servc.

The _sclp_print_early function saves and restores the upper registers
halves but it fails to clear them for the 31-bit code of the mini sclp
driver.
