[PATCH v9 17/36] x86/fred: Define a common function type fred_handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FRED event delivery establishes a full supervisor context by saving
the essential information about an event to a FRED stack frame, e.g.,
the faulting linear address of a #PF is saved as event data of a FRED
stack frame. Thus a struct pt_regs has all the needed data to handle
an event and it's the only input argument of a FRED event handler.

Define fred_handler, a common function type used in the FRED event
dispatch framework, which makes it easier to find the entry points
(via grep), allows the prototype to change if necessary without
requiring changing changes everywhere, and makes sure that all the
entry points have the proper decorations (currently noinstr, but
could change in the future.)
