To reduce the chance that random user space content leaks down the call chain in registers, also clear lower registers on syscall entry: For 64-bit syscalls, extend the register clearing in PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS to %dx and %cx. This should not hurt at all, also on the other callers of that macro. We do not need to clear %rdi and %rsi for syscall entry, as those registers are used to pass the parameters to do_syscall_64(). For the 32-bit compat syscalls, do_int80_syscall_32() and do_fast_syscall_32() each only take one parameter. Therefore, extend the register clearing to %dx, %cx, and %si in entry_SYSCALL_compat and entry_INT80_compat.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
