i.e.
	
     *(0x00000fff820fb94b + 0xdffffc0000000000 * 1) == 0

     *(0xe0000bff820fb94b) == 0

So base == 0x00000fff820fb94b and index == 0xdffffc0000000000 and scale =
1. As scale is 1, base and index might be swapped, but that still does not
make any sense.

0xdffffc0000000000 is explicitely loaded into RAX according to the
disassembly, but I can't find the corresponding source as this is in the
middle of the function prologue and looks KASAN related.

So RAX is obviously the syscall number and the arguments are in RDI (tv()
and RSI (tz), which both look like legit user space addresses.

As this is deep in the function prologue compiler/KASAN people might want
to have a look at that.
