r11 is a volatile register on PPC as per calling conventions. The safe_syscall code uses it to check if the signal_pending is set during the safe_syscall. When a syscall is interrupted on return from signal handling, the r11 might be corrupted before we retry the syscall leading to a crash. The registers r0-r13 are not to be used here as they have volatile/designated/reserved usages. Change the code to use r14 which is non-volatile. Use SP+16 which is a slot for LR, for save/restore of previous value of r14. SP+16 can be used, as LR is preserved across the syscall. Steps to reproduce: On PPC host, issue `qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/cc -E -` Attempt Ctrl-C, the issue is reproduced.
