[PATCH 4.4 321/342] x86/entry/compat: Add missing CLAC to entry_INT80_32

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-03-02 00:04:52
Also in: lkml

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 3d44d51bd339766f0178f0cf2e8d048b4a4872aa upstream.

This doesn't seem to fix a regression -- I don't think the CLAC was
ever there.

I double-checked in a debugger: entries through the int80 gate do
not automatically clear AC.

Stable maintainers: I can provide a backport to 4.3 and earlier if
needed.  This needs to be backported all the way to 3.10.
