Note that I prettied up its changelog (attached below), please use this for the
next submission.

Thanks,

Subject: x86/asm/entry/32, selftests: Add 'test_syscall_vdso' test

This new test checks that all x86 registers are preserved across
32-bit syscalls. It tests syscalls through VDSO (if available)
and through INT 0x80, normally and under ptrace.

If kernel is a 64-bit one, high registers (r8..r15) are poisoned
before the syscall is called and are checked afterwards.

They must be either preserved, or cleared to zero (but r11 is special);
r12..15 must be preserved for INT 0x80.

EFLAGS is checked for changes too, but change there is not
considered to be a bug (paravirt kernels do not preserve
arithmetic flags).

Run-tested on 64-bit kernel:

$ ./test_syscall_vdso_32
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[NOTE] R11 has changed:0000000000200ed7 - assuming clobbered by SYSRET insn
[OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data
[RUN] Running tests under ptrace
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data

On 32-bit paravirt kernel:

$ ./test_syscall_vdso_32
[NOTE] Not a 64-bit kernel, won't test R8..R15 leaks
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO
[WARN] Flags before=0000000000200ed7 id 0 00 o d i s z 0 a 0 p 1 c
[WARN] Flags after=0000000000200246 id 0 00 i z 0 0 p 1
[WARN] Flags change=0000000000000c91 0 00 o d s 0 a 0 0 c
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[RUN] Running tests under ptrace
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO

[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80
