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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.16
