s390: fix test_fp_ctl inline assembly contraints
commit bcf4dd5f upstream. The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl() function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the signal stack. This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c860 "s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register" Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> [bwh: Backported to 3.16: adjust filename] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
