That would make things much simpler... e.g. your new patch is also
writing r3 to fregs, why?
BTW, according to the document [1], r3 is for "return value 1", isn't it
used usually?

That is true for the 32 bit ABI, but not for the 64 bit ABI which we
care about. Besides other this is also the reason why I removed the
above file five years ago: f62f7dcbf023 ("Documentation/s390: remove
outdated debugging390 documentation").
If you really want to understand the 64 bit s390 ABI then you need to
look at https://github.com/IBM/s390x-abi .
A PDF file of the latest release is available at
https://github.com/IBM/s390x-abi/releases/download/v1.6.1/lzsabi_s390x.pdf
See section "1.2.5. Return Values" for return value handling.
All of that said, I would appreciate if you would just merge the
provided patch, unless there is a reason for not doing that. Chances
are that I missed something with all the recent fregs vs ptregs
changes.
