Subject: [PATCH 0/2] stackleak: allow to specify arch specific stackleak poison function

Factor out the code that fills the stack with the stackleak poison value in
order to allow architectures to provide a faster implementation.

Use this to provide an s390 specific implementation which can fill the
stack with the poison value much faster (factor of ~10 compared to the
current version).

Note that the s390 stackleak support is currently only available via
linux-next (as of today), and the s390 kernel tree at kernel.org[1].
Therefore, if there are no objections, I'd like to add these two patches to
the s390 tree, so they can go upstream via the next merge window together
with the s390 support.

Thanks,
Heiko
