Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] s390/stackleak: Fix __stackleak_poison() inline assembly constraint
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 08:37:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318073705.3409519-1-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026031739-hankie-exceeding-ac13@gregkh>
The __stackleak_poison() inline assembly comes with a "count" operand where
the "d" constraint is used. "count" is used with the exrl instruction and
"d" means that the compiler may allocate any register from 0 to 15.
If the compiler would allocate register 0 then the exrl instruction would
not or the value of "count" into the executed instruction - resulting in a
stackframe which is only partially poisoned.
Use the correct "a" constraint, which excludes register 0 from register
allocation.
