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.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
