From: Dominik Brodowski linux@dominikbrodowski.net Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2018 11:49:46 +0100 Subject: x86/entry/64: Use PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS in more cases
From: Dominik Brodowski linux@dominikbrodowski.net
commit 30907fd13bb593202574bb20af58d67c70a1ee14 upstream.
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() and nmi() can be converted to use PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS instead of opencoded variants thereof. Due to the interleaving, the additional XOR-based clearing of R8 and R9 in entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() should not have any noticeable negative implications.
