Subject: [PATCH 00/11] x86/entry: Clean up entry code

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

This patchset moves the stack-switch code to the place where
error_entry() return, distangles 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.

After error_entry() is distangled from XENpv, a branch in sync_regs()
is removed to.

Patch 1-10 are picked from the patchset
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211126101209.8613-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com/
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, and separates
XENpv code with native code without adding new code which can lead to
more cleanups.

Patch 11 is new in this patchset.

Lai Jiangshan (11):
  x86/entry: Use swapgs and native_iret directly in
    swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode
  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: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs in error_entry()
  x86/entry: Use idtentry macro for entry_INT80_compat
  x86/entry: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs in entry_SYSENTER_compat()
  x86: Remove the definition of SWAPGS
  x86/entry: Remove the branch in sync_regs()
