x86-64/swapcontext: Restore the pointer into %rdx after syscall
To prepare for shadow stack support, restore the pointer into %rdx after syscall and use %rdx, instead of %rsi, to restore context. There is no functional change. Signed-off-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/swapcontext.S (__swapcontext): Restore the pointer into %rdx, after syscall and use %rdx, instead of %rsi, to restore context.
