Andy Lutomirski fa2016a8e7 x86/xen/64: Fix the reported SS and CS in SYSCALL
When I cleaned up the Xen SYSCALL entries, I inadvertently changed
the reported segment registers.  Before my patch, regs->ss was
__USER(32)_DS and regs->cs was __USER(32)_CS.  After the patch, they
are FLAT_USER_CS/DS(32).

This had a couple unfortunate effects.  It confused the
opportunistic fast return logic.  It also significantly increased
the risk of triggering a nasty glibc bug:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21269

Update the Xen entry code to change it back.

README

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.
