Kernel erases R8..R11 registers prior returning to userspace
from int80:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/1/164
GCC can reuse these registers and doesn't expect them to change
during syscall invocation. I met this kind of bug in CRIU once
GCC 6.1 and CLANG stored local variables in those registers
and the kernel zerofied them during syscall:
990d33f1a1
By that reason I suggest to add those registers to clobbers
in selftests. Also, as noted by Andy - removed unneeded clobber
for flags in INT $0x80 inline asm.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
