Clear CF and ZF in the VM-Exit path after doing __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER so
that KVM doesn't interpret clobbered RFLAGS as a VM-Fail. Filling the
RSB has always clobbered RFLAGS, its current incarnation just happens
clear CF and ZF in the processs. Relying on the macro to clear CF and
ZF is extremely fragile, e.g. commit 089dd8e53126e ("x86/speculation:
Change FILL_RETURN_BUFFER to work with objtool") tweaks the loop such
that the ZF flag is always set.

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.
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.
