The first one cuts the idtentry macro as suggested by Linus. I'm not sure whether this patch yet needs an explicit SOB by him though. It was previously sent as RFC / testing only patch "8/7" to the previous x86/entry-related series, cf. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180211104949.12992-9-linux@dominikbrodowski.net The other one replaces the xorq-based register cleaning with an equivalent xorl-based version, which is supposed to be faster on some architectures.

As 'xorl' is sufficient to clear all 64 bits of these registers due to zero-extension [*], switch the x86 64-bit entry code to use 'xorl'. No change in functionality and no change in code size. [*] According to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software Developer's Manual, section 3.4.1.1, the result of 32-bit operands are "zero- extended to a 64-bit result in the destination general-purpose register." The AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 3, Appendix B.1, describes the same behaviour.
