[PATCH V5 22/50] x86/entry: Don't call error_entry for XENPV

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 06:59:50 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When in XENPV, it is already in the task stack, and it can't fault
at native_irq_return_iret nor asm_load_gs_index_gs_change since
XENPV uses its own pvops for iret and load_gs_index(). And it
doesn't need to switch CR3. So it can skip invoking error_entry().
