Commitc76c6c4ecb("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.

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.
