Indicate to the compiler that the syscall will modify registers rcx
and r11 to prevent loop from getting clobbered.

When I combined the asm instruction into one line, it threw an error
that the "Asm-specifier for input or output variable conflicts with asm
clobber list" for rax. I omitted it for now, but I'm not sure if that
is correct.
Also, is it ok to change the subject line like I did?
