The current machine check code uses the registers stored by the machine in the lowcore at __LC_GPREGS_SAVE_AREA as the registers of the interrupted context. The registers 0-7 of a user process can get clobbered if a machine checks interrupts the execution of a critical section in entry[64].S. The reason is that the critical section cleanup code may need to modify the PSW and the registers for the previous context to get to the end of a critical section. If registers 0-7 have to be replaced the relevant copy will be in the registers, which invalidates the copy in the lowcore. The machine check handler needs to explicitly store registers 0-7 to the stack. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
