22 * Reshuffle regs so that all of any of the entry instructions
23 * will preserve enough state.
25 * A really nice entry sequence would be:
30 * Unfortunately, naughty Android versions between July and December
31 * 2015 actually hardcode the traditional Linux SYSENTER entry
32 * sequence. That is severely broken for a number of reasons (ask
33 * anyone with an AMD CPU, for example). Nonetheless, we try to keep
34 * it working approximately as well as it ever worked.
36 * This link may eludicate some of the history:

38 * personally, I find it hard to understand what's going on there.
40 * Note to future user developers: DO NOT USE SYSENTER IN YOUR CODE.
41 * Execute an indirect call to the address in the AT_SYSINFO auxv
42 * entry. That is the ONLY correct way to make a fast 32-bit system
43 * call on Linux. (Open-coding int $0x80 is also fine, but it's
