Subject: [043/151] [S390] s390: clear high-order bits of registers after sam64
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit cf87b7439ec81b9374e7772e44e9cb2eb9e57160 upstream.
When the kernel is IPLed without the CLEAR option and switches
to 64-bit, the high-order half of the registers might contain
random values. This can cause addressing exceptions and the
kernel enters an interrupt loop.
Initialize the high-order half of the general purpose registers
with zeros after switching to 64-bit mode.
