From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@xxxxxxxxxxx>
This is an RFC patchset v4. There are two patches in this series.
Xin Li reported that the sysret_rip test fails at:
assert(ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EFL] ==
ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_R11]);
on the Intel FRED architecture. Let's handle the FRED system scenario
too. The 'syscall' instruction in a FRED system doesn't set %rcx=%rip
and %r11=%rflags.
Syscall and sysenter in a FRED system are treated equivalently to
software interrupts, e.g. INT 0x80. They do not modify any registers.

#### Changelog v4:
- Fix the assertion condition inside the SIGUSR1 handler (Xin Li).
- Explain the purpose of patch #2 in the commit message (HPA).
- Update commit message (Ammar).
- Repeat test_syscall_rcx_r11_consistent() 32 times to be more sure
that the result is really consistent (Ammar).
#### 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).
