commit 6690e86be83ac75832e461c141055b5d601c0a6d upstream.
Effectively reverts commit:
2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim that the kernel has clean flags.
In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().
This has become a significant issue ever since commit:
5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")
provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC, exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble, however fix it before it comes apart.
