Subject: x86/entry: Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry()
From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ee774dac0da1543376a69fd90840af6aa86879b3 upstream.
The macro idtentry() (through idtentry_body()) calls error_entry()
unconditionally even on XENPV. But XENPV needs to only push and clear
regs.
PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS in error_entry() makes the stack not return to its
original place when the function returns, which means it is not possible
to convert it to a C function.
Carve out PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry() and into a separate
function and call it before error_entry() in order to avoid calling
error_entry() on XENPV.
It will also allow for error_entry() to be converted to C code that can
use inlined sync_regs() and save a function call.
