ARM: 9297/1: vfp: avoid unbalanced stack on 'success' return path
Commit c76c6c4ecbec0deb5 ("ARM: 9294/2: vfp: Fix broken softirq handling
with instrumentation enabled") updated the VFP exception entry logic to
go via a C function, so that we get the compiler's version of
local_bh_disable(), which may be instrumented, and isn't generally
callable from assembler.
However, this assumes that passing an alternative 'success' return
address works in C as it does in asm, and this is only the case if the C
calls in question are tail calls, as otherwise, the stack will need some
unwinding as well.
I have already sent patches to the list that replace most of the asm
logic with C code, and so it is preferable to have a minimal fix that
addresses the issue and can be backported along with the commit that it
fixes to v6.3 from v6.4. Hopefully, we can land the C conversion for v6.5.
So instead of passing the 'success' return address as a function
argument, pass the stack address from where to pop it so that both LR
and SP have the expected value.
