Subject: [patch V2 00/17] entry: Provide generic implementation for host and
 guest entry/exit work

When working on a way to move out the posix cpu timer expiry out of the
timer interrupt context, I noticed that KVM is not handling pending task
work before entering a guest. A quick hack was to add that to the x86 KVM
handling loop. The discussion ended with a request to make this a generic
infrastructure possible with also moving the per arch implementations of
the enter from and return to user space handling generic.

The series implements the syscall enter/exit and the general exit to
userspace work handling along with the pre guest enter functionality.

Changes vs. RFC version:

  - Dropped ARM64 conversion as requested by ARM64 folks

  - Addressed various review comments (Peter, Andy, Mike, Paolo, Josh,
    Miroslav)

  - Picked up, fixed and completed Peter's patch which makes interrupt
    enable/disable symmetric in trap handlers

  - Completed the removal of irq disabling / irq tracing from low level
    ASM code

  - Moved KVM specific parts of the enter guest mode handling to KVM
    (Paolo)

The series is also available from git:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP/core.entry

Thanks,

        tglx
