Subject[PATCH 4.4 61/92] s390: remove indirect branch from do_softirq_own_stack
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 9f18fff63cfd6f559daa1eaae60640372c65f84b upstream.

The inline assembly to call __do_softirq on the irq stack uses
an indirect branch. This can be replaced with a normal relative
branch.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.16
Fixes: f19fbd5ed6 ("s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches")
