If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Huang Ying commit 050438ed5a05b25cdf287f5691e56a58c2606997 upstream. In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call return address is the jump back entry. Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original kernel. But in the current implementation the stack position used for function call return address is not cleared context preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
