x86/asm/entry/32: Do not use R9 in SYSCALL32 entry point
SYSENTER and SYSCALL 32-bit entry points differ in handling of arg2 and arg6. SYSENTER: * ecx arg2 * ebp user stack * 0(%ebp) arg6 SYSCALL: * ebp arg2 * esp user stack * 0(%esp) arg6 Sysenter code loads 0(%ebp) to %ebp right away. (This destroys %ebp. It means we do not preserve it on return. It's not causing problems since userspace VDSO code does not depend on it, and SYSENTER insn can't be sanely used outside of VDSO). Syscall code loads 0(%ebp) to %r9. This allows to eliminate one MOV insn (r9 is a register where arg6 should be for 64-bit ABI), but on audit/ptrace code paths this requires juggling of r9 and ebp: (1) ptrace expects arg6 to be in pt_regs->bp; (2) r9 is callee-clobbered register and needs to be saved/restored around calls to C functions. This patch changes syscall code to load 0(%ebp) to %ebp, making it more similar to sysenter code. It's a bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 1407 0 0 1407 57f ia32entry.o.before 1391 0 0 1391 56f ia32entry.o To preserve ABI compat, we restore ebp on exit. Run-tested.
