s390 defines current_stack_pointer as function while all other
architectures use 'register unsigned long asm("<stackptr reg>").
This make codes like the following from check_stack_object() fail:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP)) {
if ((void *)current_stack_pointer < obj + len)
return BAD_STACK;
} else {
if (obj < (void *)current_stack_pointer)
return BAD_STACK;
}
because this would compare the address of current_stack_pointer() and
not the stackpointer value.

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.
