Subject: [PATCH] s390/stackleak: Fix __stackleak_poison() inline assembly
constraint
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.
