Building kernel mainline with GCC 11 leads to following failure
when starting 'init':
init[1]: bad frame in sys_sigreturn: 7ff5a900 nip 001083cc lr 001083c4
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
This is an issue due to a segfault happening in
__unsafe_restore_general_regs() in a loop copying registers from user
to kernel:
10: 7d 09 03 a6 mtctr r8
14: 80 ca 00 00 lwz r6,0(r10)
18: 80 ea 00 04 lwz r7,4(r10)
1c: 90 c9 00 08 stw r6,8(r9)
20: 90 e9 00 0c stw r7,12(r9)
24: 39 0a 00 08 addi r8,r10,8
28: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8
2c: 81 4a 00 08 lwz r10,8(r10) <== r10 is clobbered here
30: 81 6a 00 0c lwz r11,12(r10)
34: 91 49 00 08 stw r10,8(r9)
38: 91 69 00 0c stw r11,12(r9)
3c: 39 48 00 08 addi r10,r8,8
40: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8
44: 42 00 ff d0 bdnz 14 <__unsafe_restore_general_regs+0x14>
As shown above, this is due to r10 being re-used by GCC. This didn't
happen with CLANG.
This is fixed by tagging 'x' output as an earlyclobber operand in
__get_user_asm2_goto().

Applied to powerpc/fixes.
