From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] powerpc: Fix handling of scv return error codes When using scv on templated ASM syscalls, current code interprets any negative return value as error, but the only valid error codes are in the range -4095..-1 according to the ABI. Reviewed-by: Matheus Castanho <redacted>Please reference bug 27892 in the commit message. I'd also appreciate a backport to the 2.33 release branch (where you need to add NEWS manually to add the bug reference).
No problem. [BZ #27892] appended to the commit title. I'll make sure to backport to 2.33 as well. Thanks -- Matheus Castanho
