Commit:8bb2610bc4("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80") was busted: my original patch had a minor conflict with some of the nospec changes, but "git apply" is very clever and silently accepted the patch by making the same changes to a different function in the same file. There was obviously a huge offset, but "git apply" for some reason doesn't feel any need to say so. Move the changes to the correct function. Now the test_syscall_vdso_32 selftests passes. If anyone cares to observe the original problem, try applying the patch at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d4c4d9985fbe64f8c9e19291886453914b48caee.1523975710.git.luto@kernel.org/raw to the kernel at316d097c4c: - "git am" and "git apply" accept the patch without any complaints at all - "patch -p1" at least prints out a message about the huge offset.

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.
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.
