Commitfd2d2b191f("s390: get_user() should zero on failure") intended to fix s390's get_user() implementation which did not zero the target operand if the read from user space faulted. Unfortunately the patch has no effect: the corresponding inline assembly specifies that the operand is only written to ("=") and the previous value is discarded. Therefore the compiler is free to and actually does omit the zero initialization. To fix this simply change the contraint modifier to "+", so the compiler cannot omit the initialization anymore.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
