3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 49955d84cd9ccdca5a16a495e448e1a06fad9e49 upstream.
The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the
MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path
restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have
been saved on entry to the system call.
Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper
function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so
that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.
Fixes: f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS: Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler")
