commit 342300cc9cd3428bc6bfe5809bfcc1b9a0f06702 Author: Martin Schwidefsky <[email protected]> Date: Fri Feb 19 14:44:14 2016 +0100 s390/compat: correct restore of high gprs on signal return git commit 8070361799ae1e3f4ef347bd10f0a508ac10acfb "s390: add support for vector extension" broke 31-bit compat processes in regard to signal handling. The restore_sigregs_ext32() function is used to restore the additional elements from the user space signal frame. Among the additional elements are the upper registers halves for 64-bit register support for 31-bit processes. The copy_from_user that is used to retrieve the high-gprs array from the user stack uses an incorrect length, 8 bytes instead of 64 bytes. This causes incorrect upper register halves to get loaded.
