[PATCH 6.9 072/197] s390: Mark psw in __load_psw_mask() as __unitialized

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

 



6.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7278a8fb8d032dfdc03d9b5d17e0bc451cdc1492 ]

Without __unitialized, the following code is generated when
INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled:

86: d7 0f f0 a0 f0 a0     xc      160(16,%r15), 160(%r15)
8c: e3 40 f0 a0 00 24     stg     %r4, 160(%r15)
92: c0 10 00 00 00 08     larl    %r1, 0xa2
98: e3 10 f0 a8 00 24     stg     %r1, 168(%r15)
9e: b2 b2 f0 a0           lpswe   160(%r15)

The xc is not adding any security because psw is fully initialized
with the following instructions. Add __unitialized to the psw
definitiation to avoid the superfluous clearing of psw.
