Hi,

Commit 0c8c0f03e3a2 ("x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'")
causes s390 builds in mainline to fail as follows.

Yeah, so I'm really out on a limb here as I know next to nothing about s390
assembly, but the build failure appears to be analogous to the arm64 one: the
offset of thread_struct fields within task_struct increased due to commit
0c8c0f03e3a2 ("x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"), which
increased assembly offsets beyond the limit this instruction can apparently
encode.

Does the (untested!) patch below help?

It's an equivalent transformation on the C side, but it might cause GCC to
generate different assembly code, because we now have a temporary variable with
much smaller offsets.

The code is also a tiny bit cleaner this way, as the 'current->thread.fp_regs'
pattern isn't repeated twice.

In case this works:

No idea why, but this still fails with the same error (I suspect the compiler
tries to optimize the fp_regs variable away). I can compile the code by using
a local variable '__u32 fpc', but obviously I don't know if that is correct.
I don't have a working qemu configuration for s390, so I can not run any tests.
