That said, maybe the below is better?

	/* restore flags */
	pushl	14*4(%esp)
	popf

	/* Move return ip back to its original location */
	movl	12*4(%esp), %eax
	movl	%eax, 14*4(%esp)

	popl	%ebx
	popl	%ecx
	popl	%edx
	popl	%esi
	popl	%edi
	popl	%ebp
	popl	%eax
	popl	%ds
	popl	%es
	popl	%fs
	popl	%gs

	/* use lea to not affect flags */
	lea	(3*4)%esp, %esp			/* Skip orig_ax, ip and flags */

	jmp	.Lftrace_ret
