[PATCH V2 0/7] x86/entry: Clean up entry code

From: Lai Jiangshan

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patchset moves the stack-switch code to the place where
error_entry() return, unravels error_entry() from XENpv and makes
entry_INT80_compat use idtentry macro.

This patchset is highly related to XENpv, because it does the extra
cleanup to convert SWAPGS to swapgs after major cleanup is done.

The patches are the version 2 of
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211208110833.65366-1-jiangshanlai@xxxxxxxxx/
which are picked from the patchset
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211126101209.8613-1-jiangshanlai@xxxxxxxxx/
which coverts ASM code to C code. These patches are prepared for that
purpose. But this patchset has it own value: it simplifies the stack
switch, avoids leaving the old stack inside a function call, and
separates XENpv code with native code without adding new code.

Changed from V1
Squash cleanup patches converting SWAPGS to swapgs into one patch

Use my official email address (Ant Group). The work is backed
by my company and I was incorrectly misunderstood that
XXX@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the only portal for opensource work
in the corporate group.

PS: I think the work is ready to be queued and I'm deeply sorry not to
resend it for more reviews for the last two months because I have been
obsessed with a boardgame and my brain power was drained.

Lai Jiangshan (7):
x86/traps: Move pt_regs only in fixup_bad_iret()
x86/entry: Switch the stack after error_entry() returns
x86/entry: move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry
x86/entry: Move cld to the start of idtentry
x86/entry: Don't call error_entry for XENPV
x86/entry: Use idtentry macro for entry_INT80_compat
x86/entry: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs and remove the definition of
SWAPGS
