In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call return address is the jump back entry. Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original kernel. But in the current implementation the stack position used for function call return address is not cleared context preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.
