Subject[PATCH 5.18 761/879] s390/perf: obtain sie_block from the right address
Date
From: Nico Boehr <nrb@linux.ibm.com>

commit c9bfb460c3e4da2462e16b0f0b200990b36b1dd2 upstream.

Since commit 1179f170b6f0 ("s390: fix fpu restore in entry.S"), the
sie_block pointer is located at empty1[1], but in sie_block() it was
taken from empty1[0].

This leads to a random pointer being dereferenced, possibly causing
system crash.

This problem can be observed when running a simple guest with an endless
loop and recording the cpu-clock event:

sudo perf kvm --guestvmlinux=<guestkernel> --guest top -e cpu-clock

With this fix, the correct guest address is shown.

Fixes: 1179f170b6f0 ("s390: fix fpu restore in entry.S")
