There are several copies of get_eflags() and set_eflags() and they all are buggy. Consolidate them and fix them. The fixes are: Add memory clobbers. These are probably unnecessary but they make sure that the compiler doesn't move something past one of these calls when it shouldn't. Respect the redzone on x86_64. There has no failure been observed related to this, but it's definitely a bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
