From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>

This is an RFC patchset v3:
sysret_rip test update for Intel FRED architecture.

Xin Li reported sysret_rip test fails at:

assert(ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EFL] ==
ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_R11]);

in a FRED system. Let's handle the FRED system scenario too. The
'syscall' instruction in a FRED system doesn't set %r11=%rflags.

There are two patches in this series.

How to test this:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86
$ tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_rip_64

## Changelog v3:

- Test that we don't get a mix of REGS_SAVED and REGS_SYSRET,
which is a major part of the point (hpa).

## Changelog v2:

- Use "+r"(rsp) as the right way to avoid redzone problems
per Andrew's comment (hpa).
