4.4-stable 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.
