Hi Boqun,

I tried your patch in a ppc64 le environment, and it does not survive boot
with CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y. init gets killed right away.

Moreover, I'm not sure that the r3 register don't contain something worth
saving before the call on ppc32. Just after there is a "mr" instruction
which AFAIU takes r3 as input register.

Can you look into it ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
