    x86/entry/32: Restore FLAGS on SYSEXIT · c2c9b52f
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    We weren't restoring FLAGS at all on SYSEXIT.  Apparently no one cared.
    
    With this patch applied, native kernels should always honor
    task_pt_regs()->flags, which opens the door for some sys_iopl()
    cleanups.  I'll do those as a separate series, though, since getting
    it right will involve tweaking some paravirt ops.
    
    ( The short version is that, before this patch, sys_iopl(), invoked via
      SYSENTER, wasn't guaranteed to ever transfer the updated
      regs->flags, so sys_iopl() had to change the hardware flags register
      as well. )
