syscalls/x86: Extend register clearing on syscall entry to lower registers
To reduce the chance that random user space content leaks down the call chain in registers, also clear lower registers on syscall entry: For 64-bit syscalls, extend the register clearing in PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS to %dx and %cx. This should not hurt at all, also on the other callers of that macro. We do not need to clear %rdi and %rsi for syscall entry, as those registers are used to pass the parameters to do_syscall_64(). For the 32-bit compat syscalls, do_int80_syscall_32() and do_fast_syscall_32() each only take one parameter. Therefore, extend the register clearing to %dx, %cx, and %si in entry_SYSCALL_compat and entry_INT80_compat.
