[ Upstream commit a994eddb94 ]
Currently psw_idle does not allocate a stack frame and does not
save its r14 and r15 into the save area. Even though this is valid from
call ABI point of view, because psw_idle does not make any calls
explicitly, in reality psw_idle is an entry point for controlled
transition into serving interrupts. So, in practice, psw_idle stack
frame is analyzed during stack unwinding. Depending on build options
that r14 slot in the save area of psw_idle might either contain a value
saved by previous sibling call or complete garbage.

So, to make a stacktrace nicer and actually point for the real caller of
psw_idle in this frequently occurring case, make psw_idle save its r14.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
