Heiko Carstens faa3e7da48 s390: introduce proper type handling call_on_stack() macro
[ Upstream commit 41d71fe59cce41237f24f3b7bdc1b414069a34ed ]

The existing CALL_ON_STACK() macro allows for subtle bugs:

- There is no type checking of the function that is being called. That
  is: missing or too many arguments do not cause any compile error or
  warning. The same is true if the return type of the called function
  changes. This can lead to quite random bugs.

- Sign and zero extension of arguments is missing. Given that the s390
  C ABI requires that the caller of a function performs proper sign
  and zero extension this can also lead to subtle bugs.

- If arguments to the CALL_ON_STACK() macros contain functions calls
  register corruption can happen due to register asm constructs being
  used.

Therefore introduce a new call_on_stack() macro which is supposed to
fix all these problems.

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.
