[ Upstream commit d5feec04fe ]
The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the
standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical
section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the
BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with
the limited branch prediction.
Fixes: eacf67eb9b32 ("s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction")

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.
