Use LEA instead of ADD when adjusting %rsp in srso_safe_ret{,_alias}()
so as to avoid clobbering flags. Drop one of the INT3 instructions to
account for the LEA consuming one more byte than the ADD.
KVM's emulator makes indirect calls into a jump table of sorts, where
the destination of each call is a small blob of code that performs fast
emulation by executing the target instruction with fixed operands.
E.g. to emulate ADC, fastop() invokes adcb_al_dl():
adcb_al_dl:
<+0>: adc %dl,%al
<+2>: jmp <__x86_return_thunk>
A major motivation for doing fast emulation is to leverage the CPU to
handle consumption and manipulation of arithmetic flags, i.e. RFLAGS is
both an input and output to the target of the call. fastop() collects
the RFLAGS result by pushing RFLAGS onto the stack and popping them back
into a variable (held in %rdi in this case):
asm("push %[flags]; popf; " CALL_NOSPEC " ; pushf; pop %[flags]\n"
<+71>: mov 0xc0(%r8),%rdx
<+78>: mov 0x100(%r8),%rcx
<+85>: push %rdi
<+86>: popf
<+87>: call *%rsi
<+89>: nop
<+90>: nop
<+91>: nop
<+92>: pushf
<+93>: pop %rdi
and then propagating the arithmetic flags into the vCPU's emulator state:
ctxt->eflags = (ctxt->eflags & ~EFLAGS_MASK) | (flags & EFLAGS_MASK);
<+64>: and $0xfffffffffffff72a,%r9
<+94>: and $0x8d5,%edi
<+109>: or %rdi,%r9
<+122>: mov %r9,0x10(%r8)
The failures can be most easily reproduced by running the "emulator"
test in KVM-Unit-Tests.
