[ Upstream commit 29ccaa4b35ea874ddd50518e5c2c746b9238a792 ]
Commit d768bd892fc8 ("s390: add options to change branch prediction
behaviour for the kernel") introduced .Lsie_exit label - supposedly
to fence off SIE instruction. However, the corresponding address
range length .Lsie_crit_mcck_length was not updated, which led to
BPON code potentionally marked with CIF_MCCK_GUEST flag.
Both .Lsie_exit and .Lsie_crit_mcck_length were removed with commit
0b0ed657fe00 ("s390: remove critical section cleanup from entry.S"),
but the issue persisted - currently BPOFF and BPENTER macros might
get wrongly considered by the machine check handler as a guest.

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.
