Andy Lutomirski 22cd978e59 x86/entry/64/compat: Fix "x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80"
Commit:

  8bb2610bc4 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80")

was busted: my original patch had a minor conflict with
some of the nospec changes, but "git apply" is very clever
and silently accepted the patch by making the same changes
to a different function in the same file.  There was obviously
a huge offset, but "git apply" for some reason doesn't feel
any need to say so.

Move the changes to the correct function.  Now the
test_syscall_vdso_32 selftests passes.

If anyone cares to observe the original problem, try applying the
patch at:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d4c4d9985fbe64f8c9e19291886453914b48caee.1523975710.git.luto@kernel.org/raw

to the kernel at 316d097c4cd4e7f2ef50c40cff2db266593c4ec4:

 - "git am" and "git apply" accept the patch without any complaints at all
 - "patch -p1" at least prints out a message about the huge offset.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
