Subject: [S390] stacktrace bug.

From: Christian Borntraeger <cborntra@...ibm.com>

[S390] stacktrace bug.

The latest kernel 2.6.19-rc1 triggers a bug in the s390 specific stack
trace code when compiled with gcc 3.4.
This patch fixes the latest lock dependency validator code (2.6.19-rc1)
on s390 gcc 3.4. The variable sp was fixed to r15 (which is the stack
pointer in the s390 abi) and assigned new values to r15. Therefore,
gcc 3.4 assigns a new value to r15 and does not restore it on exit (r15
is supposed to be call save) - the kernel stack is broken. Avoid trouble
by not assigning any new value to sp (r15).
