[ Upstream commite6b2dab418] The KERNEL_FPR mask only contains a flag for the first eight vector registers. However floating point registers overlay parts of the first sixteen vector registers. This could lead to vector register corruption if a kernel fpu context uses any of the vector registers 8 to 15 and is interrupted or calls a KERNEL_FPR context. If that context uses also vector registers 8 to 15, their contents will be corrupted on return. Luckily this is currently not a real bug, since the kernel has only one KERNEL_FPR user with s390_adjust_jiffies() and it is only using floating point registers 0 to 2. Fix this by using the correct bits for KERNEL_FPR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
