s390/entry.S: fix spurious zeroing of r0
when a system call is interrupted we might call the critical section cleanup handler that re-does some of the operations. When we are between .Lsysc_vtime and .Lsysc_do_svc we might also redo the saving of the problem state registers r0-r7: .Lcleanup_system_call: [...] 0: # update accounting time stamp mvc __LC_LAST_UPDATE_TIMER(8),__LC_SYNC_ENTER_TIMER # set up saved register r11 lg %r15,__LC_KERNEL_STACK la %r9,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(%r15) stg %r9,24(%r11) # r11 pt_regs pointer # fill pt_regs mvc __PT_R8(64,%r9),__LC_SAVE_AREA_SYNC ---> stmg %r0,%r7,__PT_R0(%r9) The problem is now, that we might have already zeroed out r0. The fix is to move the zeroing of r0 after sysc_do_svc.
