FixGH-9068: Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
This patch preserves the scratch registers of the SysV x86-64 ABI by storing
them to the stack and restoring them later. We need to do this to prevent the
registers of the caller from being corrupted. The reason these get corrupted
is because the compiler is unaware of the Valgrind replacement function and
thus makes assumptions about the original function regarding registers which
are not true for the replacement function.
For implementation I used a GCC and Clang attribute. A more general
approach would be to use inline assembly but that's also less portable
and quite hacky. This attributes is supported since GCC 7.x, but the
target option is only supported since 11.x. For Clang the target option
does not matter.
ClosesGH-10221.
