The __diag260() inline asm temporarily changes the program check new psw to redirect a potential program check on the diag instruction. Restoring of the program check new psw is done in C code behind the inline asm. This can be problematic, especially if the function is inlined, since the compiler can reorder instructions in such a way that a different instruction, which may result in a program check, might be executed before the program check new psw has been restored. To avoid such a scenario move restoring into the inline asm. For consistency reasons move also saving of the original program check new psw into the inline asm.

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.
