From c58d92b233a41b81fbbea6add4ba1b512784f837 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2008 13:39:21 +0100 Subject: [S390] Remove initial kernel stack backchain initialization. Early init code clears the backchain of the initial kernel stack frame. This is not necessary since it is pre initialized with zeros. Plus it was broken on 64 bit since it cleared only four of eight bytes.
