[PATCH 2/2] asmlinkage_protect sys_io_getevents

[Roland McGrath]

Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the
stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs.  Here the problem is not a tail
call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and
optimizes the body of the called function.  This seems to avoid it.
