- * rflags gets masked by a value from another MSR (so CLD and CLAC
- * are not needed). SYSCALL does not save anything on the stack
- * and does not change rsp.
+ * - Prior to the in-kernel X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS fixup, anything

+ * would randomly crash.
*
- * Note: rflags saving+masking-with-MSR happens only in Long mode
+ * - Most programmers do not directly target AMD CPUs, and the 32-bit
+ * SYSCALL instruction does not exist on Intel CPUs. Even on AMD
+ * CPUs, Linux disables the SYSCALL instruction on 32-bit kernels
+ * because the SYSCALL instruction in legacy/native 32-bit mode (as
+ * opposed to compat mode) is sufficiently poorly designed as to be
+ * essentially unusable.
