Subject[PATCH 4.9 39/74] s390: do not bypass BPENTER for interrupt system calls
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>


[ Upstream commit d5feec04fe578c8dbd9e2e1439afc2f0af761ed4 ]

The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the
standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical
section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the
BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with
the limited branch prediction.

Fixes: eacf67eb9b32 ("s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction")
