s390: critical section cleanup vs. machine checks

Browse Source 
commit 6551fbdfd8 upstream.

The current machine check code uses the registers stored by the machine
in the lowcore at __LC_GPREGS_SAVE_AREA as the registers of the interrupted
context. The registers 0-7 of a user process can get clobbered if a machine
checks interrupts the execution of a critical section in entry[64].S.

The reason is that the critical section cleanup code may need to modify
the PSW and the registers for the previous context to get to the end of a
critical section. If registers 0-7 have to be replaced the relevant copy
will be in the registers, which invalidates the copy in the lowcore. The
machine check handler needs to explicitly store registers 0-7 to the stack.
