m68k: Define asmlinkage_protect
Make sure the compiler does not modify arguments of syscall functions.
This can happen if the compiler generates a tailcall to another
function. For example, without asmlinkage_protect sys_openat is compiled
into this function:
sys_openat:
clr.l %d0
move.w 18(%sp),%d0
move.l %d0,16(%sp)
jbra do_sys_open
Note how the fourth argument is modified in place, modifying the register
%d4 that gets restored from this stack slot when the function returns to
user-space. The caller may expect the register to be unmodified across
system calls.
