The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not. Currently the return value of ste

Setting TF prevents fastpath returns in most cases, which causes the test to fail on 32-bit kernels because 32-bit kernels do not, in fact, handle NT

CLAC is slow, and the SYSENTER code already has an unlikely path that runs if unusual flags are set. Drop the CLAC and instead rely on the unlikely p

This makes the 32-bit code work just like the 64-bit code. It should speed up syscalls on 32-bit kernels on Skylake by something like 20 cycles (by a
