The existing CALL_ON_STACK() macro allows for subtle bugs: - There is no type checking of the function that is being called. That is: missing or too many arguments do not cause any compile error or warning. The same is true if the return type of the called function changes. This can lead to quite random bugs. - Sign and zero extension of arguments is missing. Given that the s390 C ABI requires that the caller of a function performs proper sign and zero extension this can also lead to subtle bugs. - If arguments to the CALL_ON_STACK() macros contain functions calls register corruption can happen due to register asm constructs being used. Therefore introduce a new call_on_stack() macro which is supposed to fix all these problems.
