Provide an s390 specific __stackleak_poison() implementation which is
faster than the generic variant.
For the original implementation with an enforced 4kb stackframe for the
getpid() system call the system call overhead increases by a factor of 3 if
the stackleak feature is enabled. Using the s390 mvc based variant this is
reduced to an increase of 25% instead.
This is within the expected area, since the mvc based implementation is
more or less a memset64() variant which comes with similar results. See
commit 0b77d6701c ("s390: implement memset16, memset32 & memset64").

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.
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.
