Before this patch, R11 was saved in pt_regs->r11. Which looks natural, but requires messy shuffling to/from iret frame whenever ptrace or e.g. sys_iopl() wants to modify flags - because that's how this register is used by SYSCALL/SYSRET. This patch saves R11 in pt_regs->flags, and uses that value for the SYSRET64 instruction. Shuffling is eliminated. FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK are simplified. stub_iopl is no longer needed: pt_regs->flags needs no fixing up. Testing shows that syscall fast path is ~54.3 ns before and after the patch (on 2.7 GHz Sandy Bridge CPU).
