The problem can be reproduced with the following sequence:

  $ cat sysenter_step.c
  int main()
  { asm("pushf; pop %ax; bts $8,%ax; push %ax; popf; sysenter"); }

  $ gcc -o sysenter_step sysenter_step.c

  $ ./sysenter_step
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The program is expected to crash, and the #DB handler will issue a warning.

Should we wrap up this gem and put it with the other entry selftests?

It looks like tools/testing/selftests/x86/single_step_syscall.c tests
sysenter with TF set but it doesn't check if the kernel issues any
warning.
