Subject: [PATCH 0/7] x86/entry: Convert error_entry() to C code

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

Add some C equivalent functions of the ASM macros and implement the whole
error_entry() as C code.

The patches are picked from the huge patchset
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211126101209.8613-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com/
which converts a large chunk of ASM code to C code.

The C version generally has better readability and easier to be
updated/improved.

This smaller patchset converts error_entry() only.
The equivalent ASM macros are not removed because they are still used by
the IST exceptions.

Changed from the old huge patchset:
	squash some patches

Lai Jiangshan (7):
  x86/entry: Introduce __entry_text for entry code written in C
  x86/entry: Move PTI_USER_* to arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h
  x86: Mark __native_read_cr3() & native_write_cr3() as __always_inline
  x86/entry: Add arch/x86/entry/entry64.c for C entry code
  x86/entry: Add the C verion of SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3 as
    switch_to_kernel_cr3()
  x86/traps: Add fence_swapgs_{user,kernel}_entry() and
    user_entry_swapgs_and_fence()
  x86/entry: Implement the whole error_entry() as C code
