[PATCH 4.4 61/92] s390: remove indirect branch from do_softirq_own_stack

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 24 2018 - 07:07:07 EST


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

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

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9f18fff63cfd6f559daa1eaae60640372c65f84b upstream.

The inline assembly to call __do_softirq on the irq stack uses
an indirect branch. This can be replaced with a normal relative
branch.
