[PATCH] powerpc/64: Avoid link stack corruption in kexec_wait()

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-23 07:53:12
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Use bcl 20,31,+4 instead of bl in order to preserve link stack.

See commit c974809a26a1 ("powerpc/vdso: Avoid link stack corruption
in __get_datapage()") for details.
