Preserve eflags and gpa1 aux during entry/exit into kernel as these could be modified by kernel mode These registers used by compare exchange instructions. - GPA1 is used for compare value, - EFLAGS got bit reflects atomic operation response. EFLAGS is zeroed for each new user task so it won't get its parent value.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
