[ Upstream commit d5feec04fe578c8dbd9e2e1439afc2f0af761ed4 ] The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with the limited branch prediction.
