From Richard Sandiford <richard@codesourcery.com>:
This patch caused a miscompilation of the restore_gp_regs() block
in restore_sigcontext().  This was in a 32-bit kernel compiled with
GCC CVS head.
restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables,
and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too
many registers.  It says:
/*
 * Get a long long 64 using 32 bit registers.
 */
{									\
	__asm__ __volatile__(						\
	"1:	lw	%1, (%3)				\n"	\
	"2:	lw	%D1, 4(%3)				\n"	\
	"	move	%0, $0					\n"	\
	"3:	.section	.fixup,\"ax\"			\n"	\
	"4:	li	%0, %4					\n"	\
	"	move	%1, $0					\n"	\
	"	move	%D1, $0					\n"	\
	"	j	3b					\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	"	.section	__ex_table,\"a\"		\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	1b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	2b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	: "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val)					\
	: "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT));				\
}
and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value.  In the case I saw,
gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be
clobbered.
