[PATCH] x86/asm/entry/32: Simplify zeroing of pt_regs->r8..r11 on int80 code path

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Tue Jun 02 2015 - 13:35:27 EST


32-bit syscall entry points do not save complete pt_regs struct -
they leave some fields uninitialized. However, they must be careful
to not leak uninitialized data in pt_regs->r8..r11 to ptrace users.

CLEAR_RREGS macro is used to zero these fields out when needed.

However, on int80 code path this zeroing is unconditional. This patch
simplifies it by storing zeroes there right away, when pt_regs
is constructed on stack. This uses shrter instructions:

text data bss dec hex filename
1423 0 0 1423 58f ia32entry.o.before
1407 0 0 1407 57f ia32entry.o

Compile-tested.
