commit842f4be958upstream. Add a hand coded assembly trampoline to preserve volatile registers across vmread_error(), and to handle the calling convention differences between 64-bit and 32-bit due to asmlinkage on vmread_error(). Pass @field and @fault on the stack when invoking the trampoline to avoid clobbering volatile registers in the context of the inline assembly. Calling vmread_error() directly from inline assembly is partially broken on 64-bit, and completely broken on 32-bit. On 64-bit, it will clobber %rdi and %rsi (used to pass @field and @fault) and any volatile regs written by vmread_error(). On 32-bit, asmlinkage means vmread_error() expects the parameters to be passed on the stack, not via regs. Opportunistically zero out the result in the trampoline to save a few bytes of code for every VMREAD. A happy side effect of the trampoline is that the inline code footprint is reduced by three bytes on 64-bit due to PUSH/POP being more efficent (in terms of opcode bytes) than MOV.

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.
