[PATCH v3 5/7] x86/entry: use PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS in more cases

From: Dominik Brodowski
Date: Sun Feb 11 2018 - 05:51:25 EST


entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe and nmi can be converted to use
PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS instead of opencoded variants thereof. Due to
the interleaving, the additional XOR-based clearing of r8 and r9
in entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe should not have any noticeable
negative implications.
