[ Upstream commit 7278a8fb8d032dfdc03d9b5d17e0bc451cdc1492 ]
Without __unitialized, the following code is generated when INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled:
86: d7 0f f0 a0 f0 a0 xc 160(16,%r15), 160(%r15) 8c: e3 40 f0 a0 00 24 stg %r4, 160(%r15) 92: c0 10 00 00 00 08 larl %r1, 0xa2 98: e3 10 f0 a8 00 24 stg %r1, 168(%r15) 9e: b2 b2 f0 a0 lpswe 160(%r15)
The xc is not adding any security because psw is fully initialized with the following instructions. Add __unitialized to the psw definitiation to avoid the superfluous clearing of psw.
