7f2590a110b8("x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries")
has resulted that when exception on userspace, the kernel (error_entry)
always push the pt_regs to entry stack(sp0), and then copy them to the
kernel stack.This is a hot path (for example page fault) and interrupt_entry directly switches to kernel stack and pushes pt_regs to kernel stack. We should do it for error_entry. This is the job of patch1,2. Patch 3-5 simply stack switching for .Lerror_bad_iret by just doing all the work in one function (fixup_bad_iret()). The patch set is based on tip/master (c021d3d8fe45) (Mon May 25). The diffstat is "66 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-)", but actually it mainly adds comments and deletes code.
