After commit4b9d2a731c("parisc: Switch user access functions to signal errors in r29 instead of r8") bash suddenly started to report those warnings after login: -bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Bad file descriptor -bash: no job control in this shell It turned out, that a function call inside a put_user(), e.g.: put_user(vt_do_kdgkbmode(console), (int __user *)arg); clobbered the error register (r29) and thus the put_user() call itself seem to have failed. Rearrange the C-code to pre-calculate the intermediate value and then do the put_user(). Additionally prefer the "+" constraint on pu_err and gu_err registers to tell the compiler that those operands are both read and written by the assembly instruction.

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.
