[PATCH] x86/asm/entry/32: Reinstate clearing of pt_regs->r8..r11 on EFAULT path

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Sun Jun 07 2015 - 14:24:55 EST


I broke this recently when I changed pt_regs->r8..r11 clearing logic
in INT 80 code path.

There is a branch from SYSENTER/SYSCALL code to INT 80 code:
if we fail to retrieve arg6, we return EFAULT. Before this patch,
in this case we don't clear pt_regs->r8..r11.

This patch fixes this. The resulting code is smaller and simpler.

While at it, remove incorrect comment about syscall dispatching CALL insn:
it does not use RIP-relative addressing form (the comment was meant to be
"TODO: make this rip-relative", and morphed since then, dropping "TODO").
