Subject: [PATCH V3 0/7] x86/entry: Clean up entry code

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@...group.com>

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 third try to pick patches from the patchset
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211126101209.8613-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com/
which converts 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 V2:
	Make the patch of folding int80 thing as the first patch
	Add more changelog in "Switch the stack after error_entry() returns"

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@...ux.alibaba.com is the only portal for opensource work
	in the corporate group.
