Message-ID<runuj-5gi-29@gated-at.bofh.it>
Use of a temporary R8 register here seems to be unnecessary.

"push %r8" is a two-byte insn (it needs REX prefix to specify R8),
"push $0" is two-byte too. It seems just using the latter would be
no worse.

Thus, code had an unnecessary "xorq %r8,%r8" insn.
It probably costs nothing in execution time here since we are probably
limited by store bandwidth at this point, but still.

Run-tested under QEMU: 32-bit calls still work:

I think it actually should push r12-r15, since they are callee-saved
and we don't explicitly zero them out on SYSRET like r8-r10.  If it
exited via IRET it would reload them as zero, so there is an
inconsistency there.

Hmm.  We could do this or we could zero them on the way out from the
fast path.  I have no real preference.  Preserving the values is
probably a bit nicer.

It's no difference to push the register vs. pushing a zero (it was
pushing r8 before).  It would cost extra to explicitly zero them on
SYSRET.
