From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== 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.
