3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 537094b64b229bf3ad146042f83e74cf6abe59df upstream. According to arm procedure call standart r2 register is call-cloberred. So after the result of x expression was put into r2 any following function call in p may overwrite r2. To fix this, the result of p expression must be saved to the temporary variable before the assigment x expression to __r2.
