Subject: [PATCH 5.10 28/36] s390/entry: save the caller of psw_idle

From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit a994eddb947ea9ebb7b14d9a1267001699f0a136 ]

Currently psw_idle does not allocate a stack frame and does not
save its r14 and r15 into the save area. Even though this is valid from
call ABI point of view, because psw_idle does not make any calls
explicitly, in reality psw_idle is an entry point for controlled
transition into serving interrupts. So, in practice, psw_idle stack
frame is analyzed during stack unwinding. Depending on build options
that r14 slot in the save area of psw_idle might either contain a value
saved by previous sibling call or complete garbage.

  [task    0000038000003ea0] arch_call_rest_init+0x76/0x80

So, to make a stacktrace nicer and actually point for the real caller of
psw_idle in this frequently occurring case, make psw_idle save its r14.
