s390 is the only architecture which switches from the initial stack to a later on allocated different stack for the first process. This is (at least) problematic for the stackleak feature, which instruments functions to save the current stackpointer within the task structure of the running process. The stackleak code compares stack pointers of the current process - and doesn't expect that the kernel stack of a task can change. Even though the stackleak feature itself will not cause any harm, the assumption about kernel stacks being consistent is there, and only s390 doesn't follow that. Therefore switch back to use init_thread_union, just like all other architectures.

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.
